Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 September 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

I thank noble Lords for their amendments in this group. We have spoken previously about the importance of effectiveness, proportionality and clarity. I absolutely hear the experience of the noble Baroness, Lady Harding, in leading a telecommunications company and the experience it had. We have learned from experiences across all sectors in introducing the new regime that is in the Bill, which puts in, as others have said, a staged approach that includes an early alert to regulators and the NCSC within 24 hours. That will provide awareness and enable the NCSC and regulator to provide early support, as well as potentially understand whether it is impacting multiple regulated entities.
