Cabinet Office written question – answered at on 16 March 2010.
I have been asked to reply.
The threat to the UK's cyber security from the effects of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is specifically highlighted in the fourth bullet of paragraph 2.8 on page 14 of the Cyber Security Strategy of the United Kingdom published in June 2009, referred to by its alternative (non-nuclear) title of High Power Radio Frequency (HPRF) transmission. The Cyber Security Strategy did not sub-classify the origin of HPRF threats into solar or deliberate.
