Lord Bethell (Con)
My Lords, I rise to make a brief but emphatic comment from the health constituency. We in the NHS have been victims of appalling cyber- hacking. The pathology labs in south London were hacked and that cost many lives. It is an example of where the world is going in the future unless we act promptly. The emphatic call for quick action so that government keeps up with world changes is really well made. I ask the Minister to reflect on that.
