Govt: Border security wasn't compromised in airport outage
Energy Security Secretary Claire Coutinho insists border security was not compromised during a system outage at UK airports this week and that the problems were not the result of ‘malign’ activity.
But she says the government is renewing its security contractors after the Ministry of Defence’s payroll system was hacked.

Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho has responded to warnings of a Labour supermajority in the general election. "The worry is if you end up with this Labour supermajority as some people are saying there will be, they'll ram through changes whether it's votes at 16, the levels of taxes they want to bring forward and pensions they want to raise," Ms Coutinho said.
