Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 September 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

The amendment proposes a requirement for the Secretary of State to consult on achieving the minimisation of identifiable data, while looking at deletion and at what needs to be kept. It is seen as constructive. Again, if there are other suggestions, I am happy to talk about the best ways of going about this, but I very much hope that all noble Lords will see that it is a sensible and pragmatic approach to try to deal with a problem. It would remove a lot of the juicy targets—for want of better words—from a potential attack vector in the first place. I beg to move.
