| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “I am going to ask a little bit about cyber-security. Once you are moving to a more diffuse and renewable energy system, you have different kinds of risks. Do you think the energy sector cyber-security strategy adequately mitigates these risks, as you understand them?” | 44 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “My final question is about international co-ordination. We went as a Select Committee to Brussels and visited NATO, talked to them about energy security and how it links into national security, as you mentioned, Deborah. How has sharing best practice with Five Eyes nations helped to better protect the UK’s national inf…” | 52 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “How serious is it as a risk? It feels a bit like our frontier is short-staffed.” | 16 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “Forgive me Stuart, when it is everybody’s responsibility it ends up being nobody’s.” | 13 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “I want to follow up, before I go to my international co-ordination question, on your reference to the people who do this as the sort of Dad’s Army of the 21st century, which I like. I also note, however, that in the strategy it cites the fact that the UK faces a significant shortage of professionals who have the requir…” | 82 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “That is helpful. It is interesting you mentioned Spider-Man, when you were talking about what happened at Hyde. I think of how this can sound extremely dull until suddenly you are in a “28 Days Later” scenario and so forth. We need to understand what the risks are when you have something that is more distributed and wh…” | 123 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “Much like your answers to Lizzi.” | 6 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “I would like to ask a little bit about the energy sector cyber-security strategy, particularly the changing nature of our energy system. We are now changing the risk profile quite considerably because of the nature of the more complex and decentralised grid, much of which we have talked about. What I noted in what is s…” | 112 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “That is helpful. Thank you.” | 5 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “Notwithstanding all the things that we have been talking about with the physical risks of it being offshore, does that increase or affect the cyber-resilience?” | 25 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “No, that is fine. Is there evidence that offshore wind turbines are particularly at risk from cyber-attack? What should be done to increase their cyber-resilience?” | 25 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “Can you explain more about the supply chain risks?” | 9 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “What do you think are the top takes?” | 8 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “Talking about one single one, what lessons do you think the UK could learn from the recent cyber-attack on Poland’s energy grid?” | 22 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “I am interested in the contrast between what Elisabeth said about the mix of energy resources increasing resilience and how changing the structure of our energy system to become more diffuse has significant resilience implications, and the new cyber-security regulatory requirements we therefore need to establish as a r…” | 49 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 171) “The way the energy system works actually creates new risks, doesn’t it?” | 12 |
