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 will need to write to the noble Lord on that specific question of how GCHQ’s powers are executed in respect of operational decisions such as this. I am aware that in other areas they are within Secretary of State responsibility, whether they are exercised by a Secretary of State, advised by GCHQ or whether, as the noble Lord suggests, they are actually undertaken by GCHQ.
