To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to protect critical undersea infrastructure.
Luke Pollard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
Cables and pipelines are as vital for our economy as factories and power stations.
This Government is increasing defence spending to keep Britain safe at home and secure abroad. And that includes investing in RFA Proteus to protect our undersea cables.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
