I turn to Amendments 68 and 69. There is a danger of what can be described as a clubcard culture of sharing data—however useful and without consideration of the data subject—permeating this Government’s approach to data. These amendments probe whether a researcher who is self-described as scientific would be able to use the data of those who have objected to their data being used in that way. They add safeguards to Clause 68 to ensure that confidence in research and government uses of data is maintained. They are designed to make it clear that, when the purpose limitations are changed, a choice must be offered to data subjects, and to ensure that existing data subject dissents are respected and cannot be ignored.
