Debate
Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]Contribution
As she said in her opening speech, her Motion 55A uses the definition of an intimate state in the Sexual Offences Act to ensure that reasonable excuse cannot be used as a Trojan horse. In principle, we also very much support her Amendment 56A. It is clear that the reasonable excuse is not required for the requesting offence to be compliant with the ECHR, so that should be deleted, and we agree with her.
