Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill Remaining Stages: New Clause 14

Parliament voted on 16 June 2026 on whether to add New Clause 14 to the Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill. The clause was defeated by 258 votes to 151. The bill was at its remaining stages in the Commons, and the vote was one of several divisions held on the same day concerning proposed additions and amendments to the legislation. The detailed content of New Clause 14 is not in the available record, as no Hansard debate extracts were provided for this division. What is clear is that the government opposed the clause and its MPs voted it down. The bill itself is concerned with cyber security and the resilience of network and information systems, including protections for critical infrastructure. The vote divided almost entirely along government-versus-opposition lines. All 227 Labour MPs and 25 Labour and Co-operative MPs who voted did so against the clause. The Conservatives (82 ayes), Liberal Democrats (56 ayes), Plaid Cymru (4 ayes), the Democratic Unionist Party (4 ayes), and Traditional Unionist Voice (1 aye) all voted in favour. Two Reform UK MPs also voted aye. Three independents voted each way. There were no Conservative or Liberal Democrat MPs recorded voting no.
