On Amendment 96, it is critically important to have something on cyber in the Bill. It is becoming an increasingly clear and present danger for major and mega sporting events and across the piece. Imagine if we had the Commonwealth Games or a FIFA Women’s World Cup and a cyber attack happened on the ticketing machines and people could not access the venues. Imagine if there was a cyber attack on the vehicles being used to get the players to the event or a cyber attack on the transport network, with spectators trapped underground or at traffic lights that either do not change from red or have no colour on them at all. These are just some examples of how even one element of a cyber attack would be extraordinarily disruptive and import unnecessary danger and safety considerations into the event, but for having cyber planning and cyber resilience in the Bill.
