Serious Crime Bill [HL] — Committee (2nd Day) ( 8 Jul 2014)

Lord Swinfen: What is the definition of cybercrime? I think it is a very wide one. I ask the question deliberately, because some time ago my charity—which, as I said before, works in 74 different countries—had its website hacked.

Lord Swinfen: My Lords, I hope that the Minister will send a copy of today’s Hansard to HM Revenue and Customs and point out my noble friend’s speech, which HMRC should read, mark, learn and inwardly digest.
