Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 December 2024

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

That shows that it is possible to do this in the right way and to bring the public with us. I totally understand that we do not want people completely scraping the data and using it purely for commercial purposes, but there is a fear that if we swing the pendulum too far the other way, there will be a chilling effect on some of this research work, which will happen only if there is also a commercial benefit at the end of the road. Trying to find that balance is the key thing we need to find in this Bill.
