Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

It is positive that the Bill has implemented some of the recommendations of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee to address some of the problematic use of delegated powers in the DPDI Bill. But key powers remain, and we, alongside many others, are concerned that the Bill continues to include several widely drafted delegated powers that would permit the Secretary of State to make significant changes to the data protection regime without adequate parliamentary scrutiny.
