Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 June 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

I understand the Minister’s point about not wanting to prejudge the consultation—although on other issues, such as VAT on school fees, that did not seem to apply. What I have difficulty with is why the Government were not prepared to take a power that would enable them to act at a subsequent date and does not require them to do so.
