The Government\u2019s National Cyber Security Strategy (2016-2021) sets out ambitious policies to protect the UK in cyberspace, backed with £1.9 billion investment. The UK remains fully engaged with our EU counterparts, and we have been discussing the security aspects of the European Electronic Communications Code with member states. The DCMS 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme will also include £10 million to create capabilities where the security of 5G Networks can be tested and proven, working with the National Cyber Security Centre.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4115", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Margot James"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stourbridge"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Margot James"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-04-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-04-27T10:17:02.593Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "5G: Cybersecurity"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what discussion he has had with his counterparts in other EU member states on cyber security risks relating to 5G mobile networks.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1388", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Dodds of Duncairn"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Belfast North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Nigel Dodds"} ], "uin" : "136455"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/887864", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/887864/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The National Shipbuilding Strategy aims to re-energise the UK's shipbuilding industry by encouraging participation from the wider UK shipbuilding enterprise, ensuring that we receive bids from the widest range of suppliers possible. This will ensure that the UK remains globally competitive, and that the Ministry of Defence procurement process is as competitive as possible.<\/p>
We are committed to making it easier to do business with defence, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). As part of this we are working to improve our engagement with smaller businesses; making it easier for them to find opportunities and win defence business.<\/p>
Since March 2016 we have implemented a range of measures to support SMEs, including revising our polices, advertising all our contracts above £10,000 online, and requiring our prime contractors to similarly advertise subcontract opportunities. Furthermore, we have introduced a new Supplier Portal page, bringing together the key information for suppliers of all sizes.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3910", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Guto Bebb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Aberconwy"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Guto Bebb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-04-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-04-25T16:16:53.34Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Shipbuilding: Procurement"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to support SMEs to tender for contracts issued as a result of the National Shipbuilding Strategy.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4642", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Paul Sweeney"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Glasgow North East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Paul Sweeney"} ], "uin" : "136860"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/887866", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/887866/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Providing better information and support to people bereaved by suicide is a key area for action in the Cross-Government Suicide Prevention Strategy for England. Effective suicide bereavement services should be provided through effective local partnerships between local authorities, National Health Service organisations and voluntary and charitable sector providers. Public Health England published a suite of guidance in 2017, in conjunction with the National Suicide Prevention Alliance and the Support After Suicide Partnership, to local areas for developing and implementing compassionate suicide bereavement services. The guidance is available at the following link:<\/p>
<\/p>
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/support-after-a-suicide-a-guide-to-providing-local-services<\/a><\/p> <\/p> Almost every local area has a multi-agency suicide prevention plan in place to ensure that all local services are working together to deliver tailored approaches to reducing suicides in their communities. Public Health England published updated guidance in 2016 to local areas on developing these multi-agency partnerships and plans and advised that local plans should reflect the key areas for action of the national strategy, including providing effective bereavement support. The guidance is available at the following link:<\/p> <\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/suicide-prevention-developing-a-local-action-plan<\/a><\/p> <\/p> The Department funds the Help is at Hand suicide bereavement support resource, published by Public Health England, which provides compassionate information and signposting to people who have been bereaved by suicide. Help is at Hand provides helpful advice such as explaining the processes followed by authorities following a suicide, gives testimonies by other people bereaved by suicide and provides a directory of other organisations which can provide support.
