2026-09-15 AI: Human Extinction
My Lords, I very much agree with the earlier question. When it comes to managing the existential end of AI risks, unilateral regulation is of very limited value, because the risk is of course global. Given this, what is the Government’s assessment of exi
2026-09-07 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
In the spirit of her final remarks on the Bill overall, is the Minister able to give any update as to when the national cyber action plan might emerge?
2026-09-07 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, for introducing this amendment and the noble Lord, Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom, whom I see in his place. I am sorry he was unable to attend the beginning of this debate, but we are told it was for very go
2026-09-07 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Northover, for her amendment and, needless to say, I support the intention behind it. It is clearly right that, having placed several new duties on businesses and their vendors, the Government consider how to en
2026-09-07 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, for opening the final day of Committee. For a Bill of such importance, I am surprised at the speed of our progress. However, if quantity has been low, quality has more than compensated. I agree wit
2026-09-03 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
I thank the Minister for her point about the Government Cyber Action Plan, but do the strength of her arguments there not completely reinforce the urgent need to have the national cyber action plan, so that we can assess overall the cyber strategy of the
2026-09-03 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, for opening this debate on behalf of my noble friend Lady Morgan of Cotes. I will come to her amendment in a moment, after I touch on Amendment 167, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Ludford. Her comme
2026-09-03 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
My Lords, I, too, thank my noble friend Lady Harding of Winscombe for tabling this important set of amendments, which we welcome, and for clarifying the refinements of the grouping process, which had slightly eluded me up to that point. As with the previ
2026-09-03 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
My Lords, I start by thanking my noble friend Lady Neville-Jones for introducing this group and setting out her stall so clearly and compellingly. I apologise that some of the amendments that have been looked at here I had in my record as being part of t
2026-09-01 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

2026-09-01 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
My Lords, I shall begin with Amendment 12 in the names of the noble Lord, Lord Tarassenko, and the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron. I completely understand the necessity and urgency of taking action on these things. The noble Lord, Lord Tarassenko, set out t
2026-09-01 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
Before the Minister sits down, I note that there are a lot of “just in case” elements of the Bill; to me, it feels that there are rather too many. For example, I refer the Minister back to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster v the Secretary of State
2026-09-01 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness the Minister for introducing this debate and for her helpful advance briefings on these amendments. I also welcome all noble Lords back for what, I am sure, will be a productive Committee stage. It is worth noting at
2026-07-23 Digital and Technology Policy: National Sovereignty
My Lords, I too thank the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, for securing this important debate, and I thank all those who participated. It has been fascinating throughout and brilliant points have been made from all sides. I welcome the return of the Minister
2026-07-21 Department for Science, Information and Technology: Abolition
My Lords, this appointment of an AI Minister to Cabinet indeed gives a timely prominence to AI policy-making, but does the Minister accept that it also removes a good deal of clarity? Who owns AI policy between DBIST, the Cabinet Office and the Minister
2026-07-16 Artificial Intelligence: Legislation
My Lords, we understand the Government’s policy of placing most of the burden of AI regulation on to existing sectoral regulators, but the cyber security and resilience Bill will create new burdens for those regulators. The Minister will accept that this
2026-07-14 Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill
My Lords, I am grateful to all noble Lords who have contributed to the debate and, of course, to the Minister for her introduction. It has been a really thoughtful, compelling and persuasive debate. It is clear that, on all sides of the House, there is a
2026-07-13 Employment: Artificial Intelligence
I welcome the Government providing a great deal of skills education, but I do not see how the Government know what skills the marketplace is looking for in AI, particularly in the situation in which we find ourselves, where the recruitment marketplace ha
2026-07-09 The Space Economy (UK Engagement with Space Committee Report)
My Lords, I too begin by thanking the noble Baroness, Lady Ashton of Upholland, and every member of the committee for this powerful and timely report, although I must say that my principal reaction is one of envy—I rather wish I had been on the committee
2026-07-07 Trade (Mobile Roaming) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
My Lords, I also welcome the Minister to the Front Bench. I know that the first OQ is one of the most alarming experiences this House has to offer, but I am sure she will be brilliant and I look forward to hearing it. On these Benches, we are pleased
2026-07-07 Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (Directions to OFCOM) (Revocation) Order 2026
My Lords, I too thank the Minister for her introduction. This is indeed a short and straightforward instrument, but certainly one worth a little bit of careful thought because of its real strategic importance. As we have heard, the Government propose to
2026-06-23 Social Media: Use of X by Government Departments
My Lords, does the Minister not agree that the real threat to reliable information is not news publishers but weaponised disinformation published by our enemies using bots? The scale of that is far in excess of anything that Mr Musk might promote or anyt
2026-06-17 Social Media: Substances Unfit for Human Consumption
My Lords, to pick up on the point that was well made by the noble Baroness, Lady Bull, sellers of unapproved SARMs routinely use labels in their advertising such as “not for human consumption”, while simultaneously promoting their physique-enhancing effe
2026-06-16 Social Media Ban for Under-16s
My Lords, I thank the Minister for the Statement and indeed for alerting me in advance of the announcement, which was much appreciated. This announcement—although coming, I am afraid, rather later than many noble Lords would have hoped—is extremely welco
2026-06-16 Artificial Intelligence: National Security Implications
