Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, before the Minister sits down, I was given considerable assurance between Committee and Report that a code of practice, drawn up with the ICO, would be quite detailed in how it set out the requirements for those engaging in automated decision-making. The Minister seems to have given some kind of assurance that it is possible that the ICO will come forward with the appropriate provisions, but he has not really given any detail as to what that might consist of and whether that might meet some of the considerations that have been raised in Committee and on Report, not least Amendments 34 and 35, which have just been discussed as if the ATRS was going to cover all of that. Of course, any code would no doubt cover both the public and private sectors. What more can the Minister say about the kind of code that would be expected? We seem to be in somewhat of a limbo in this respect.
