Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 December 2024

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

These joint partnerships were previously possible under the Data Protection Act 1998, while reports on the Manchester Arena and Fishmonger’s Hall attacks highlight the public interest in closer joint working between law enforcement bodies and the intelligence services in matters of national security. I think the noble Lord also referenced the noble Lord, Lord Anderson. My understanding is that he has given his support to our proposals in the Bill.
