Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 December 2024

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

The benefits of adopting Amendment 35 are clear. Noble Lords can only imagine how frustrating it is at the moment for UK citizens who want to move to employment abroad. Take the example of a doctor who wants to work in the EU. At the moment, they need to take a traditional approach to getting access to their qualifications. Not only does this process have administrative costs, it opens the way for qualification fraud. A digital version of the doctor’s registration certificate would quickly confirm their UK credentials and speed them on the way to international employment.
