Peers on this House of Lords select committee scrutinise the government's approach to national resilience across critical infrastructure, emergency preparedness, and systemic risks. The committee takes oral evidence from government officials, private sector representatives, and expert witnesses during formal sessions held in the Lords chamber. It produces detailed inquiry reports that feed into parliamentary debate and policy development. Recent sessions have examined the role of media and civil emergency response systems, explored the intersection of cyber security and artificial intelligence threats to national infrastructure, and assessed how the private sector and the National Audit Office contribute to resilience planning. The committee has also studied Nordic approaches to national resilience, drawing lessons from international comparators to inform UK strategy.
