I think the transition to conflict, transition to war as it's described, NATO describes the

transition to conflict as a military component to it, it also has a civilian component to it.

The SDR talked about how we protect our critical national infrastructure

and we also talk about how we need to build that resilience into the systems as we renew them.

I talked before Christmas of the need that when we think about

renewing our water infrastructure or our electricity or transport infrastructure

to think about the threat of action from an adversary that is above the threshold

of water, not just a hybrid threat and think about how we build in that resilience as we renew it

and that requires to make some different choices and different priorities and that work that the

Cabinet Office is doing across the whole of government is something I really welcome.
