answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2016 answer text <p>We take the growing threat of cyber attacks on our networks and systems extremely seriously, whatever the source, and are taking action to defend against increasingly sophisticated attacks. Our systems are regularly targeted by criminals, foreign intelligence services and other malicious actors seeking to exploit Ministry of Defence (MOD) personnel, disrupt MOD business and operations, corrupt our systems and steal information. This is not unique to the MOD; other Government Departments, industry and business are also affected. However, we do not reveal specific details of trends in order to safeguard national security.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 31/10/2016 17:03:08 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2016 answer text <p>Staffing levels in the Police Service of Northern Ireland are a matter for the Chief Constable and PSNI’s budget is provided by the Department of Justice. However, we will always give our fullest possible backing to the men and women of the PSNI who do such a superb job. That is partly why this Government has provided specific Additional Security Funding totalling £230million in the last parliament and committed a further £160m in the current parliament.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 31/10/2016 16:15:26 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
