When the Minister responds, could he please engage with the examples I have given? His letter to me of 17 April, which was perhaps drafted by his officials, seemed to say that the exemption is okay because we can trust companies to understand our undefined understanding of scientific research, and that the ICO would act if that were not the case. One problem with that suggestion is that we will not know how the data is being used for scientific research, because there are no transparency requirements on algorithms in general and on this exemption in particular.
