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

It has announced a series of measures, including actions from Microsoft and Amazon, to support greater choice for UK businesses and the public sector. On my noble friend Lady Berger’s question, it is true that cloud spend is distributed across departments and managed through a range of departmental contracts and commercial arrangements. We have established a cross-government cloud consumption dashboard to improve the visibility of cloud usage across the public sector, and we are working with both suppliers and departments to further improve the quality and completeness of our cloud infrastructure spend data to provide a joined-up view today and for the future. That is something that the Government are acting on.
