Debate
Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]Contribution
Several people have spoken on this quite passionately and I completely understand why we need to get it right. It is important that companies cannot get hold of data and use it for things that we do not want them to use it for, including marketing and other approaches that will potentially cause harm. In looking after that, we must be mindful not to damage one of our great success stories in this country—scientific research—for which we have unique datasets that are important to improve all sorts of aspects of life.
