Labour — Rhondda and Ogmore

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 June 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords]

Contribution

Of course, I understand the demand for us to act as swiftly as we possibly can, and that is our intention. One could argue that introducing a draft Bill, which would then be considered in various different places and presumably would be followed by a Bill, would delay things rather than speed them up. In addition—this is a really important constitutional point—as I said earlier, I am not aware of a single Bill in the past that has required a future Bill to be produced and specified things that must be in it.
