Labour — Salford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 February 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords]

Contribution

The Secretary of State will be aware that clause 80 removes the existing right of individuals not to be subjected to solely automated decision-making processes unless it involves a category of special data. In practice, this might mean that journalists could have their data processed through ADM, which could pose significant risks to their sources. What reassurance can he give me that these concerns will be explored and assessed as the Bill passes through the House?
