Representation of the People Bill
There have been over four hours of debate at this stage, with many views, and I shall speak briefly on what I think are two larger, overriding points to consider. First, this Bill is central to the legitimacy of our democracy and, as such, any rules that

Jodrell Bank Observatory: Funding
My Lords, when we heard the Prime Minister say on 1 September that Jodrell Bank was safe, I am sure that many people breathed a sigh of relief. But as we saw, the Written Answer from the Government on 7 September said that Jodrell Bank would remain as a

Data Security: UK Citizens
My Lords, given that the UK-US data bridge is estimated to be worth almost £1 billion to the UK economy and that, twice before, transatlantic data arrangements have collapsed following successful legal challenges, what are the Government doing proactivel
Nice try. I will get the final word then. First, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, for his strong support. Honey pot is a very descriptive and apt term for it. I thank the Minister for her comments and will definitely take up her offer of a mee
Amendment 174E in my name and those of my noble friends Lord Camrose and Lord Holmes builds on the point I made in the debate last Thursday that the best defence in cyber is, of course, not to present an attractive target in the first place.

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, for introducing this important group and all noble Lords for their contributions. Beginning with Amendment 148A, it is reasonable to suggest that there should be a further right to appeal, given that
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Northover, for bringing forward Amendment 99. Throughout our consideration of the Bill, I have returned several times to the distinction between cyber compliance and cyber capability, and this amendment goes dir
My Lords, we have heard very compelling cases from all noble Lords who have spoken on this group about why a particular sector should be included. I will not go through the list—it was gone through very well by the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, a momen
I thank the Minister for her response and noble Lords for their involvement. As suspected, the Committee is completely united in what we are trying to achieve, and I am pleased to hear that the Minister is sympathetic. I think we all agree that the devil
My Lords, Amendment 73 stands in the names of the noble Lords, Lord Alton of Liverpool and Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, and the noble Baroness, Lady Ludford, and in my name. Unfortunately, the noble Lord, Lord Alton, is unable to be here today, and I am ver
As per the points made by other noble Lords, this is a prime example of when you realise how valuable it is to have in this House and, in particular, in this Committee people who have lived experience. Because of that, this is a well thought out set of p

Direction of Government
My Lords, I too wish the new Prime Minister well. The key question is whether he represents a change in style or substance. Going back to the question asked by my noble friend Lord True, what are the three new things versus the Starmer Government that th
My Lords, I thank my noble friend for introducing this group; as it is the final group of the day, I will keep my remarks brief.

My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Ludford, for introducing this group. I am generally supportive of the principles she is introducing, and I thank all noble Lords who have spoken in this debate. I particularly enjoyed trying to get my head round
I add my thanks to the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, and other noble Lords for trying to make sense of what we all agree is a very difficult area. We are trying to come to a definition of high-risk areas. As we have heard in the examples today, you cannot

EU Technological Sovereignty Package
My Lords, as someone who has experienced a few PM changes myself, I genuinely wish all the Ministers good luck and thank them for the work that they have done—I know how hard it is. Technological sovereignty ultimately depends not on where AI is regulate

Artificial Intelligence: Vaccine Technology
My Lords, the best recent example of vaccine technology is the pandemic and Covid, and the UK rightly champions the 100-day mission to develop vaccines against any future pandemics. As I am sure the Minister is aware, AI can rapidly compress that discove

Sporting Events Bill [HL]
I thank both noble Lords for their interventions, and it shows the richness of this discussion. I agree with my noble friend Lord Moynihan on review timeframes that should be not just six months but longer terms. To the point on legacy from the noble Lor

Sporting Events Bill [HL]
Yes, I am moving Amendment 83 and speaking to Amendment 86 from my noble friend Lady Sater.
As I was saying, there is real concern about the impact of the CQC regulations on these grass-roots sports. If my noble friend Lady Sater was here, she would f
