Question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how international benchmarks are used to evaluate the UK's progress on national resilience.
Answer
The Resilience Action Plan committed to deliver a consolidated, data-driven picture of our resilience baseline by 2029. The Resilience Action Plan highlights that there is no common methodology for measuring overall national resilience internationally.
Verdict: AMBER (36/100)
The question asked how the Government uses international benchmarks to assess UK national resilience. The reply directly says there is no common international methodology for measuring national resilience, but it does not explain how the Government actually uses any international comparisons to judge UK progress. The other statement concerns a future domestic resilience baseline and only indirectly touches on benchmarking. The question is therefore only partly answered, and the asker would likely need to follow up for the missing detail.
How we got there
| Question item | Coverage | Specificity | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| How the Government uses international benchmarks to evaluate the UK's progress on national resilience. | Partially Addressed | Direct | Statement 2 directly addresses international benchmarking by stating there is no common international methodology for measuring national resilience, but it does not explain how the Government actually uses any international benchmarks to evaluate UK progress. Statement 1 concerns a future domestic resilience baseline and only indirectly relates to benchmarking, so the reply touches the item without fully answering it. |
