Baroness Harding of Winscombe (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Before the Minister sits down, can I follow up and ask a question about invisible processing? I wonder whether he considers that a better way of addressing potential concerns about invisible processing is improving the privacy notices when people originally sign up for the open electoral register. That would mean making it clear how your data could be used when you say you are happy to be on the open electoral register, rather than creating extra work and potentially confusing communication with people after that. Can the Minister confirm that that would be in scope of potential options and further discussions with the ICO?
