Viscount Camrose (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, this Bill has an unfortunate combination of being extremely important and somewhat obscure, but we have between us scrutinised it very closely over the past few months. Thanks are very much due to the noble Lord, Lord Vallance—particularly for stepping in, as the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, said, as an impact substitute—to the noble Lord, Lord Ponsonby, the noble Baroness, Lady Jones of Whitchurch, and, of course, to the noble Lord, Lord Leong, for their constructive engagement and the—I cannot think of a better word—professional way in which they have taken this Bill through our House. It has not been an easy Bill for any of us. I know at first hand how demanding some of its elements are for Ministers and I am pleased to have the chance at this point to express my appreciation. I thank all noble Lords for their contributions throughout Committee and Report and, indeed, tonight. We hope the other place will look favourably on the constructive amendments that we have all made to this Bill and we look forward to continuing to engage with the Government as it makes further progress.
