This uses the definition of disability contained within the 2010 Equality Act. There is also statutory guidance available on the meaning of disability under the Equality Act which should help candidates undertake this assessment.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 04/02/2020 13:57:28 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

For Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) it is documented in NCSC’s Network and Information Systems guidance in section B2, and there are specific assessment criteria laid out in section B2.c of the Cyber Assessment Framework for use by cyber security regulators.</p><p>For wider industry sectors and Small and Medium Enterprises, best practice is contained in the NCSC Board Kit and 10 Steps to Cyber Security.</p><p>The Cabinet Office does not require central Government Departments to report all cyber incidents involving the misuse of privileged access credentials and so does not hold this information centrally.</p><p>However, The minimum cyber security standard outlines the communications required by a department when there is a security incident that impacts on sensitive information or key operational services. Therefore departments will only be expected to inform the Cabinet Office of an incident involving the misuse of privileged access credentials that met these criteria.</p><p> </p> answering member printed The Earl of Courtown grouped question UIN HL17797 question first answered 07/10/2019 16:09:03 answering member 3359 label Biography information for The Earl of Courtown

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>Effective post-legislative scrutiny is fundamental to driving up standards of legislation. The Government is committed to providing Parliament with information to assist in this vital role through the submission of a memorandum to the relevant departmental select committee with a preliminary assessment of how the act has worked in practice within five years of Royal Assent.</p><p>The Government does not centrally hold information on the post-legislative reviews completed by Departments and published since 1 January 2018; the optimum moment for post legislative memoranda to be submitted is a matter for individual departments in discussion with the relevant departmental select committee. Memoranda are laid before Parliament as command papers and published on gov.uk. It is of course for the relevant committee to decide whether it wishes to conduct further post-legislative scrutiny but the Government would welcome further scrutiny of these memoranda.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 15/07/2019 14:56:10 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
