My Lords, it has been an interesting discussion on this important group. My Amendment 325 would add a new requirement for Great British Railways to publish a cyber security and technology strategy. As we have heard from a number of noble Lords, it is important for the public and Parliament to understand how Great British Railways will use emerging technologies throughout the railway, including artificial intelligence. These new technologies, of course, may help innovation, develop resilience and improve the passeng…

I presume that the noble Lord is referring to the amendment tabled to the Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and information Systems) Bill. One of the things that we have done is introduce the Bill and the guidance to work through that. I know that my noble friend Lady Lloyd will be happy to talk further with the noble Lord about this. One of the issues with a kill switch is that it would be impossible for Britain simply to turn AI off. Another issue is the extent of people’s concerns about whether a kill switc…

My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness for her amendment, in particular her focus on the importance of the skills and competence of the UK cyber security professionals on whom we all rely and our economy will continue to rely. As the noble Lord, Lord Vaizey, said, an important aspect here is the spirit behind the noble Baroness’s amendment, with its focus on the skill set and professionalisation of these individuals, which we wholeheartedly agree is incredibly important. I will focus on the council itself for a momen…

My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness for her amendment and for linking the issue of cyber security with wider questions on national resilience; she is absolutely right to situate it in that space. I also thank her for introducing the topic of the right amount of cyber security support for the SMEs regulated under the Bill; indeed, the discussion has led to SMEs that are not regulated under the Bill. We know that SMEs require dedicated cyber security support. That is why there are a wide range of free tools, guidanc…

My Lords, all the amendments that I have put down to the Bill are derived from evidence we received on the National Resilience Select Committee. I am sorry that I was not here last week to address those that came up then, and I am very grateful to my noble friend Lord Clement-Jones for presenting them for me. Several members of the Select Committee, including me, were in Finland last week looking at its preparedness for attack. Finland has faced the threat from its long border with Russia throughout the history of…
