Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

The Bill already requires the Secretary of State to consult the intended recipient of a direction and any other persons deemed appropriate before issuing a direction. This requirement may be waived only when this would not be practicable or holding a consultation would be contrary to national security interests. This exception also exists for issuing designated vendor directions in the Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021.
