Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)

Let me work backwards here. The noble Baroness makes a very good point: the services delivered at local level often mirror those at central government level. At the moment, we are consulting on the question of the best value duty to give additional prominence. One of the issues with mapping these requirements into local government is that many different services are indeed provided. We may need to come back to that in more detail. The government cyber unit now resides within DCMS. The team has transferred over and is up and running; I have spoken to them many times recently. The unit is very active in progressing the government cyber action plan as per the timetable and the target plan. On the question about the approach to looking at other sectors to bring in, that is why I mentioned at Second Reading that I had already asked my officials to work across government to consider what additional services would merit being brought in. I mentioned earlier today that focusing on CNI services not already covered by the NIS regime would be the right place to start.
