Lords Grand Committee House of Lords
00:00 - 00:15
Speaker 1
The question is that clause 1 stands part of the bill. As many as are of that opinion will say content. Content. The contrary not content. The contents have it.
In clause 2, amendment 1, Baroness Lloyd.
00:15 - 01:18
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah. Very generous. Thank you. My Lords, I beg to move amendment 1, after which I will also speak to the other amendments in my name in this group. First, let me thank noble Lords for their constructive engagement on this topic over the summer recess, with particular thanks to the noble Viscount Lord Camrose and his colleagues for sending their questions in advance.
I will seek to address those in my opening remarks. This package of amendments introduces new powers that will enable the UK to address vendor-related cyber risks in our critical infrastructure. The principal new clause introduces a new direction power. It enables the Secretary of State to direct entities in scope of the power where they are using or may potentially use vendor-supplied goods, services, or facilities in connection with their network and information systems that could create national security risks. It's becoming increasingly clear that there are axes of cyber risk that the government needs to address.
