This is why we have spent £1.9 billion on cyber security, including establishing the NCSC since 2016.</p><p> </p><p>There is also ongoing work with local authorities and electoral administrators to ensure our elections remain secure. Within these broad programmes of work to secure our democratic processes, costs specifically to secure elections from outside interference are not recorded separately.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 12/03/2019 17:15:53 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
