Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 December 2024

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

We know from the DPDI Bill that the European Commission does not like the new recognised legitimate interest legal basis. With data adequacy up for renewal in 2025, it presents a significant risk to the free flow of data. All these Secretary of State powers were identified by European Union stakeholders as a main source of concern and constitute a major threat to the continuation of the UK adequacy decision and the functioning of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
