Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 June 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

Although CIMs do not directly control networks, dependence on foreign-manufactured CIM-enabled software and tooling poses risks to resilience, security and sovereignty. Chinese attempts to corner the global market in CIMs could have significant national security implications. When they are embedded in cars, they transmit the location, the route and even passenger video. I hope that I need not elaborate on the implications of their being switched off or turned to hostile uses.
