Lord Clement-Jones (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his very considered response. In the same way as the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, I take it that, effectively, the Minister is pledging to engage directly with us and others about the nature and contents of the code, and that the ICO will also engage on that. As the Minister knows, the definition of terms such as meaningful human engagement is something that we will wish to discuss and consider in the course of that engagement. I hope that the AI edtech code will also be part of that. I thank the Minister. I know he has had to think about this quite carefully during the Bill’s passage. Currently, Clause 80 is probably the weakest link in the Bill, and this amendment would go some considerable way towards repairing it. My final question is not to the Minister, but to the Opposition: what on earth have they got against the UN? In the meantime, I beg leave to withdraw my amendment.
