Dr Ben Spencer

Conservative — Runnymede and Weybridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 June 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

I refer the hon. Member to her new clause 13, particularly subsection 3(c), which makes it very clear that companies would need to deviate from “foreign technologies”, which would be quite a burden. We need to back Britain in key sectors, from quantum and photonics to chip design and innovation. In so many areas, we lead the world. We should not try to restrict the influence and access of global markets. We must engage not in protectionism, but in leverage, to back Britain and position ourselves so that we are indispensable in the modern global tech sector and supply chains.
