Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 September 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

To continue, if the state is going to impose heavy, legally binding supply chain security duties on small businesses, backed by turnover-based fines, the state has a moral and strategic obligation to provide the operational tools needed to meet those standards. By establishing a free, Australian-style digital safety net under Amendment 100, we would turn the Bill from a purely punitive compliance exercise into a genuine co-operative national partnership for cyber resilience, and I urge the Minister to accept this vital common-sense amendment.
