Speaking on GB News this week, Sir Richard Dearlove highlighted the national security risks associated with foreign-controlled technology in the UK’s critical national infrastructure. His remarks followed the Coalition on Secure Technology’s parliamentary reception on 9 September, which brought together parliamentarians, policymakers, diplomatic representatives, industry and national security experts at the House of Commons. Chaired by Coalition Chair Graeme Downie MP, the reception generated substantial cross-party discussion, with strong engagement from parliamentarians and officials demonstrating clear interest in the Coalition’s work and the need for a more secure and resilient approach to critical technology.
