Rishi Sunak has reassured the public following a major data breach at the Ministry of Defence, which impacted a third-party payroll system.
"I do want to reassure people the Ministry of Defence has already taken action, removing the network and taking it offline and making sure the people affected are supported in the right way," he said.
He refused to be drawn on claims China is behind the data breach, but confirmed defence secretary Grant Shapps will address MPs in the House of Commons later today.
