Contractor SSCL runs MoD system hacked by China, Labour MP John Healey claims | Politics News

A company has been named in parliament as the contractor running the Ministry of Defence’s payroll that was hacked by China – an accusation the country has denied.

Labour’s shadow defence secretary John Healey claimed in the House of Commons on Tuesday that SSCL (Shared Services Connected Ltd) is the contractor after Sky News revealed the night before that the Chinese state had hacked the Armed Forces’ payroll system.

In response, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said that was correct and he has asked for a review of their work across government.

China said the accusations were “completely fabricated and malicious slanders”.

Names, addresses and bank details of current Army, Royal Navy and RAF personnel and some veterans were exposed by the hack.

SSCL is a subsidiary of the Paris-based tech company Sopra Steria. The company is the largest provider of business support services for the government and the UK military, as well as the Metropolitan Police Service.

Its website says it provides payroll, HR and pension services to 230,000 military personnel and reservists, and two million veterans, with a “wholly safe and secure service” that is “data protected to the highest levels”.

Rishi Sunak earlier refused to name China as the hacker but said Beijing has “fundamentally different values to ours” and it is “acting in a way that is more authoritarian and assertive abroad”.

The prime minister said he wanted to reassure people the MoD has already removed the network, taken it offline and is “making sure the people affected are supported in the right way”.

A spokesman for the Chinese embassy in London denied the country had anything to do with an MoD hack and said it had made “relevant responses” to accusations on the 25 and 27 March.

He accused the UK of politicising cyber security and claimed there was no factual evidence of China hacking the MoD.

Sky News has approached SSCL and Sopra Steria for a comment.

We knew there was a rift between Harry and William – but now we know just how deep it runs | UK News

The royal family had been braced for it, and the publishers warned it would be unflinching, but perhaps no one expected Harry’s memoir would go this far.

It is a very raw, very detailed book, exposing private moments and personal conversations – and at its heart is a fraternal falling out of biblical proportions.

The rift between the two Princes has long been reported, but these details show how deep that rift is.

We have a warts and all account of a physical altercation between the brothers, with William allegedly attacking Harry. Although what provoked and prompted him isn’t clear, the very accusation is damaging for William.

How the relationship between Princes William and Harry has broken down

Throughout the book, Harry doesn’t hold back, from William and Kate approving the Nazi costume he wore to a party, to begging his father not to marry Camilla.

Before, Harry made accusations but didn’t name names – this time he’s going into the specifics.

We learn how he found out the Queen had died through a news website, not a call from the family.

And Harry shares a very private conversation with his father, at the funeral of Prince Philip, where Charles pleads with his sons not to make his final years a misery with their disputes and disagreements.

There are also excruciatingly intimate details about his teenage years, the cocaine at parties aged 17, and losing his virginity to an older woman.

The whole book is a barrage of claims, conversations and confrontations from behind closed doors. We’ve never heard such candid frankness from the royal family before, but Harry seems set on putting private moments in the public domain.

It is a one-sided story, but one which paints a gloomy picture of life in the royal family – a life which Harry feels failed him on many levels.

The book is an uncomfortable read for the royal family, but maybe most of all for Prince William.

The two brothers were once so close and are now divided with a gap so wide, it’s hard to see how the pair can make peace.

Will this bring the closure Harry hopes? With at least four more interviews to go, it certainly won’t for now.

Government runs out of prison places and has to ask police for 400 cells | Politics News

The government has run out of prison places and has had to ask police to use 400 cells to make up for the shortfall.

Prisons Minister Damian Hinds told MPs there had been an “acute and sudden increase in the prison population” in recent months and, as a result, the Operation Safeguard contingency plan had been launched for the first time since 2007.

He claimed the move was not “unprecedented” and that the government had “long anticipated” the rise due to bringing in additional measures to tackle crime.

But Mr Hinds also pointed to strike action by the Criminal Bar Association, saying it had led to more people being held on remand.

And he said with court hearings returning to normal, the government was “seeing a surge in offenders coming through the criminal justice system, placing capacity pressure on adult male prisons in particular”.
