The exceptions in the Equality Act are for all religious organisations rather than for the Church of England specifically. It is unlikely that any of the exceptions will be engaged by Living in Love and Faith and therefore no assessment has been carried out.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 22/02/2023 12:06:54 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

However, this data is not broken down further by specialty such as children and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) beds. Question 11615 did not request a breakdown of adults’ or children’s beds and the response therefore included the total numbers of consultant-led beds.</p><p>Question 125433 referred specifically to CAMHS beds and, as explained in my response to that question, this information is collected by NHS England but not centrally validated, so bed numbers were not provided.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 21/02/2023 09:55:22 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2023 answer text <p>The UK’s National Cyber Strategy commits us to countering the proliferation of high-end cyber capabilities and reducing the opportunity for states and organised crime groups to access them via commercial and criminal marketplaces, as well as tackling forums that enable, facilitate, or glamorise cyber criminality.</p><p>The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) does not routinely avow details of its assessments of the capabilities of foreign governments. However, the cyber security of individuals and organisations is a high priority for the Government. The government is delivering a strategic programme of work to prevent attacks reaching citizens and organisations at scale. This includes a range of interventions such as identifying and removing malicious websites, building a national data sharing capability to enable industry to block malicious websites and attacks, advising banks of stolen customer credentials to enable them to protect their customers, and work to improve the resilience of UK telecoms networks.</p><p>Opportunities for malicious actors have increased in line with improvements in connectivity and our growing reliance on digital services. At the same time, barriers to entry have fallen, granting those who were formerly unable the capability to conduct attacks. Government is continually learning from these incidents to further refine and improve our defences and incident management processes.</p><p>With respect to spyware specifically, it is vital that all cyber capabilities are used in ways that are legal, responsible and proportionate to ensure cyberspace remains a safe and prosperous place for everyone. The UK currently considers public attribution of cyber attacks on a case-by-case basis, and has shown that we attribute malicious cyber activity where we believe it is in the best interests of the UK to do so.</p> answering member constituency Tonbridge and Malling answering member printed Tom Tugendhat question first answered 20/02/2023 15:21:51 answering member 4462 label Biography information for Tom Tugendhat
