National Security Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 November 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on National Security Bill.

The Minister said that once somebody has registered on a website, we will all be able to see it. That may be true if we knew that that was where we had to look to check whether somebody coming in through the door, sending us a letter or inviting us to dinner as an MP was actually somebody who was working for a foreign power. Would it not be far more sensible, once somebody has registered, to require them to declare to any Minister, MP or Member of the House of Lords that that is what they were doing, so that there is a degree of protection for this House?
