Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2026
Debate
Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) BillContribution
I will touch briefly on several other amendments in this group. I am grateful to my noble friend Lord Arbuthnot—who, with impeccable timing, has just entered the Room—for what he is trying to do in Amendment 174D. Cyber security is best achieved when the strategy is system-driven rather than entity-based. I support the principle behind the amendments in the names of my noble friends Lord Holmes and Lord Arbuthnot around making sure that skilled people are in place. The Secretary of State should help to mandate that and define the standards by which someone should be considered an expert.
