Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 September 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, can I just check something before the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, rises? The Minister has uttered some very warm words about the responsibilities of directors, but am I right in thinking that in nothing of what she said is there any intent for the Bill to create a legal liability that compels directors in the way that these two amendments do, or any form of personal financial fiduciary duty on a director? What she is arguing for, despite the warm words, is, essentially, a voluntary scheme.
