Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)
Answer
The Deputy Prime Minister, as Secretary of State in the Cabinet Office, takes decisions under the National Security and Investment Act 2021 in a quasi-judicial capacity. It would therefore not be appropriate to comment on individual cases, given commercial and national security sensitivities.
The Investment Security Unit coordinates expertise from across Government as part of this process.
