Lord Leong (Lab)
I have the utmost respect for the noble Lord but, as a former Secretary of State and Minister, he should know that the Government speak to government lawyers on a regular basis. An inquiry is taking place, and we should wait for it to finish and for the report to be published. An interim report has been published, and Fujitsu has committed to making a payment. When and how that happens is being consulted on and discussed between the two parties.
Lord Cromwell (CB)
Can the Minister confirm that Fujitsu has a role in the national emergency alert system on which our entire society depends? If so, is it time for a rethink?
Lord Leong (Lab)
I am afraid I do not know the answer to that, but I will definitely find out and write to the noble Lord.
