  • Transport (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    Can I press you a bit harder on the document Keep on Running and your advice in it to businesses to reduce non essential journeys and avoid travel where possible.

  • Risks (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010

From time to time there has been mention, particularly with the Olympics, of cyber terrorism, the risk of that and the potential chaos that it could cause. The whole business of WikiLeaks in the last few days has raised the spectre of hackers. How far do you believe you are sufficiently prepared to deal with this?
