Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

While this amendment is similar to the one that I brought forward in Committee, there are some key differences. First, it would narrow the definition of cloud computing, focusing on services provided specifically to consumers for personal use at a device level, such as operating systems. Secondly, it would permit the Secretary of State to specify which services are in scope to allow flexibility as technology and the threat landscape evolves. These adjustments deal with some responses made in Committee.
