If the national data library is to be central to the way the Government manage publicly held data sets, then the basis on which it is established should be subject to insight and oversight from Parliament. I have been struck in recent meetings that officials, academics and the public all agree that there is a lack of trust in both government and tech motives, yet the Government repeatedly refuse our amendments that try to set out the contours of a deal with data owners, whether creatives as before or, in this case, citizens.
