00:00 This is an incredibly troubling and serious matter. William Wragg has rightly apologised
00:07 for the action that he took under what can only have been an incredibly difficult situation.
00:12 I think to anybody watching this, if you feel that you're in a position where you're being
00:18 compromised or blackmailed, that is a matter for the police and that should be reported.
00:23 There are robust resources in place through the Parliamentary Security Department that
00:27 provides both awareness training for members of Parliament and staff, but also has the
00:34 resources to monitor any potential threat and cyber attacks, which unfortunately has
00:39 been increasingly prevalent over the last few years from both hostile states and individuals,
00:45 and so it's right that we have the resources in place. But ultimately, every MP, every
00:49 individual has a responsibility to act appropriately when it comes to personal data and certainly
00:55 the data of other people.
