Employment Rights Bill
I am sorry to interrupt the noble Baroness, but we are not debating Amendment 74A. It is grouped elsewhere.
My Lords, we have had a really good debate on these issues, and I hope that I can do justice to all the questions and points that have been raised. I begin with Amendment 75, tabled by the noble Lords, Lord Sharpe and Lord Hunt, on independent reviews into the effects of SSP reforms on small and me…

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I listened carefully to the speeches of the noble Lords, Lord Winston and Lord Tarassenko, but I am not convinced that my amendment would stop the research as they suggested. However, it would protect users’ data as the technological revolution unfolds. I beg leave to test the opinion of t…
My Lords, with the leave of the House, I will speak also to Amendments 45 to 51 and 78. There has, quite reasonably, been significant interest in the topic of AI and copyright.

Lords Oral Questions 1 May 2025
NHS: Single-sex Spaces for Staff
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Arbuthnot, for bringing this issue before the Grand Committee, and all noble Lords, particularly the two Front-Bench spokespersons, for the tone, which I also wish to impart to this important debate. A noble Lord said that we want to do the right thing, and I e…

AI: Child Sexual Abuse Material
My Lords, I thank the Minister for her reply. As she alluded to, the Internet Watch Foundation’s report points to hundreds of thousands of reports during the 2024 period. It is a record-breaking number of reports, which is driven partly by a number of new threats, including AI-generated child sexual…
My Lords, it is clear that, with the constant evolution of technology, we risk not being able to legislate rapidly enough to keep pace. How are the Government conducting their horizon scanning to ensure that we are always one step ahead of those who seek to abuse children in this way?
