AI: Human Extinction
My Lords, the tech companies, particularly the social media companies, have argued for a decade that their technology is global and, therefore, that local regulation is not the way to do it. Yet Australia, and now, I believe, this House have realised tha

Railways Bill
I am sorry to interrupt the noble Lord. Before he moves on, I may have misunderstood, but I do not think he addressed whether GBR would be subject to the Subsidy Control Act.

My Lords, I thank everyone who has contributed to this meaty debate. They included multiple ex-Secretaries of State and Members with private sector, regional and devolved experience. I think there was real unanimity of intent. I also thank the Minister.

Railways Bill
My Lords, I rise quite nervously as I am definitely not a rail expert, this group of amendments is not really about the railways and the room is full of people who are huge rail enthusiasts. There are quite a lot of amendments in this group and they all,
My Lords, I will speak briefly in support of the amendment from the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, which he so comprehensively set out. I did not mention this at Second Reading because I thought it was so self-evidently sensible that this needed to be f
My Lords, I also support Amendments 74 and 167. My experience is that boards that tell you that their cyber security is really good are the ones you should be most worried about. Boards that are really worried about it and can tell you where they think t
I have heard very clearly the willingness to discuss and collaborate from the Minister, which is extremely welcome, as were the contributions from all noble Lords. If the last hour and half has shown anything, it is that there is a genuine cross-Committe
It was my suggestion to break up these amendments into different groups, otherwise we would have had about 100 amendments in one group. There is an awful lot of overlap in the discussion on this group in particular and Amendment 17 in the name of my nobl
I am sorry, it is me again. In a break with tradition, we have only one amendment in this group. That is because this amendment would insert a proposed new clause, as opposed to lots of small changes to existing clauses. Amendment 72 is in my name and, o
I thank all the noble Lords who, again, have supported my long list of amendments and I thank them for their excellent contributions. It feels as if we made a very small breakthrough, for which I am extremely grateful, and I thank the Minister. I will n
I apologise, I stand to speak to a whole other group of amendments that suffer from the same challenge of needing to be repeated four times, which is why I suggested to the clerks that we degroup them, otherwise we would have got into a real muddle.

My Lords, I have listened really carefully to the Minister and thank her for her response, but I feel that we just had a completely black and white no, which is extremely disappointing. We have had something almost worse than a black and white no, becaus
Full house. Fear not—it is not as complex as it seems. These amendments, which I have introduced, and I am grateful for the support of the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, and my noble friend Lord Holmes of Richmond, seek to strengthen the staged reporting r
My Lords, I rise to introduce a large number of amendments, for which I apologise: Amendments 18 to 23, 25 to 31, 33 to 39, 41 to 47 and 49 and 50.

Schools: Mobile Phone Policy
My Lords, as was well rehearsed during the passage of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, protecting our children online is not just about what happens in school. Last week Meta settled claims with 47 states in the US in which it committed to mak
My Lords, I support Amendment 75 from the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, and Amendment 84 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, both of which I have added my name to, but I also support all the amendments in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Ta
My Lords, I support Amendments 3, 8 and 13 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, to which I have added my name. I will not repeat too much all her comments on our learning from the Online Safety Act that small does not mean low risk. However, i
My Lords, if I may, I will reiterate points that the noble Lord, Lord Birt, has made. A number of us are struggling to keep up. Much of what the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, said made a lot of sense, but I certainly do not feel sufficiently sighted on
To Ministers, indeed—to my noble friend himself. In those days, the National Cyber Security Centre did not exist—I am obviously referring to my time as chief executive at TalkTalk. Instead, we were directed to the Metropolitan Police’s hostage negotiatio
