Lastly, I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, for his amendments, in particular, Amendment 95, which would reduce the maximum interval between legislation and operational reports from five years to three years. That is welcome. The world of cyber security is ever changing and it will do so with increased speed as our AI continues to develop. A five-year maximum timeframe is simply too long for any Government to reflect on the effectiveness of existing legislation. I hope that the Minister will take that point, along with the others I have made.
