Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 January 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill.

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

We support this Bill and its efforts to tackle cyber-security, but it does not address the mass unauthorised scraping of trusted news content by generative AI systems. That content, as the Minister knows, is often taken without consent or compensation. As the Bill progresses, will he be prepared to look at some measures—maybe something like a bot register where people have to declare their intent when it comes to this type of activity? Will the Government look at this seriously so that news can be protected in this new environment?
