Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

On that basis, and on the basis of detailed private conversations with government and officials, we understood they were making an arrangement with the US Government about any conflicts in our respective data laws. But I had a recent meeting with Minister Narayan, and he admitted that no such arrangement has been made with the US. Since then, I have called former Secretary of State Michelle Donelan, who confirmed that she had reached out to her counterpart Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo in the previous US Administration, but that conversation was not completed before the general election. It seems that the intention to secure the legal basis on which the data preservation notice and the coroner information notice could be served has been forgotten.
