Peers ask why UK cyber bill leaves execs off the personal liability hook
Ministers say £17M corporate fines and forthcoming board-level governance rules provide sufficient accountability
AI Summary

Ministers counter that the bill’s provision for £17 million in corporate fines, together with forthcoming board‑level governance rules, offers adequate accountability for such failures.
