I am presuming a little here that the Minister’s lack of experience in the procedures of the House is holding him back, but I know he is getting some advice from his left. The key thing is that we will not be able to discuss this again in this House...

I am advised that I should say that I am happy for the amendment to be brought forward, but not as a government amendment. We are happy to hear an amendment from the noble Baroness at Third Reading.

My Lords, this is clearly box-office material, as ever.

I support Amendment 1 tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, on inferred data. Like her, I regret that we do not have this Bill flying in tandem with an AI Bill. As she said, data and AI go together, and we...
