HM Government has today laid before Parliament a full response that considers and addresses each of the recommendations and conclusions drawn by the Intelligence and Security Committee in its report on China, including the committee\u2019s recommendation \u2018U\u2019.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> The Cabinet Office is best placed to coordinate cross-government strategy across a range of issues including China, with departments responsible for delivery of that strategy. This allows for a coherent view across the extent of China\u2019s activity, and allows the Government to prioritise work, assess trade-offs, and mitigate risks, with delivery across all departments.<\/p> <\/p>"}
