Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 December 2024

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

I thank the noble Viscount, Lord Camrose, for his proposed Amendment 28. I am pleased to say that Clause 19 already allows for a review of regulations by both the Secretary of State and the Treasury, and government departments would, of course, liaise with each other as appropriate. I reassure noble Lords that the effect of Amendment 29 in requiring the affirmative resolution for regulations relating to financial penalties under Clause 10 is already achieved. These regulations are made under Clause 8 and are always subject to affirmative scrutiny.
