Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

I turn to the Government Cyber Action Plan and Amendment 170, tabled by the noble Viscount, Lord Camrose, which touches on how Parliament holds the Government to account for their own cyber resilience. We strongly welcome the reports from the Public Accounts Committee and the National Audit Office on the Government’s cyber resilience. In response, we have already adopted a duty to provide biannual reporting on progress against the recommendations of these two reports. The Government Cyber Action Plan sets out clear accountability structures to ensure that cyber risks at all levels of government are actively owned and managed, with those responsible held to account.
