Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

I am very happy to look at the points that noble Lords have raised in the course of this discussion. I believe that elements such as the consultation and the process of scrutiny are well thought out. I believe that in terms of the elements of subsequent parliamentary scrutiny—the reports that will be made both on the application or when the direction is affected—this is very much in keeping with other national security legislation which has been agreed by this and previous Governments. Many of these elements are very akin to processes that are operational in other areas of government. However, I am very happy to look at, and indeed will look at, all the points that noble Lords have raised. We will discuss them in subsequent meetings, and we will revert to them on Report.
