Debate
Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]Contribution
I return to what I said at the outset: this is not about the postmasters. In the last year alone we have seen bugs and problems in banking, air traffic control, supermarket delivery, banks, hospitals, trains and more. As we approach a world of AI and greater reliance on tech, we anticipate greater variations in reliability and more cases coming to the court. However, although the postmasters will not benefit from this change in the law—nor is it the sole example—they illustrate the human cost of failing to act.
