Re: Ask the coalitionThere are several white papers and statements that strongly support suggestions that many threats of the highest levels of sophistication are indeed state-sponsored.(Original post by Ham and Cheese)
It can be very difficult to ascertain whether a cyber attack is state-sponsored or whether the command and control centre is merely rented in the country. However, as technology matures, these attacks will become easier to verify and easier to trace back to those who are responsible. State sponsored attacks are not in long-term interests of any Government, and those who perpetrate them, need to bring them under control.
It can very easy to point the finger at certain countries in these discussions, but what we must do, is work together to defeat threats in cyber space. There is a growing force now flowing for transparency, open information and free exchange of ideas; those governments who try to resist this tide are bound to fail.
While I appreciate your response, you have avoided the main reason for my question. Is there a strategy for handling these threats? Attributing blame and dealing with the perpetrators is all well and good, but it happens after the fact - by which time it's too late. Surely it follows that computer-based attacks are inevitable, thus we should be more concerned with prevention rather than punishment?
What is the government's strategy for preventing computer-based attacks from succeeding in the first place? How will the government ensure that the UK's critical infrastructure is hardened against this sort of attack, and how will it help small and medium sized businesses take steps to protect themselves from advanced threats that ordinarily would be too costly for all but the largest organisations to defend against? -

Re: Ask the coalitionI'm opposed to tokenism overall, but I'd like to here your suggestions. Obviously there are equal opportunities in the MHoC - there's no ban on women/minorities joining, I just think we could make the atmosphere more open to them. Which brings me to...(Original post by Morgsie)
Actually you can do something propose ideas, initiatives etc. The fact you have said your not doing anything implies that you are not taking this issue seriously.
And Yes I do agree with you that Party Leaders have a role to play in this. The autistic Leader of the Lib Dems is leading on this issue.

Re: Ask the coalitionIt's all on the OP, and I think there's not a single individual taking it. Just the Conservatives in general(Original post by Mr Dangermouse)

Re: Ask the coalitionThank you Morgsie for supporting Labour's view again further privatisation of the Railways. We will be drawing over a bill over the coming weeks, I hope you and your party will accept this.(Original post by Morgsie)
I would like to ask the Minister for Equalities what does he intend to do to make this House more diverse????
Equalities cover Disability, LGBT, Race and sex
FOR THE RECORD, I am Against further Privitisation of the Rail Industry, I have advocated that for it to be joined up and I will continue to advocate this.

Re: Ask the coalitionIf you plan to nationalise rail, you will have raise taxes. That simply cannot happen.(Original post by RoryS)

You'll have to ask the Transport Secretary for more details though. -

Re: Ask the coalitionThe fares are high but necessary for the train companies to make a profit, people just don't want to use trains. It is unfortunate for the few that do use trains on a regular basis but that's life. It is unfortunate that certain cars are very expensive too but that is also part of life. You wouldn't expect the government to subsidise cars for people so they should not be expected to do so for trains either. I believe further privatisation of the railway lines and all other aspects of rail should take place. The railway lines started off in private hands and it is time they returned.(Original post by RoryS)
