Written Question
Data Protection: Public Consultation
Thursday 17th November 2022

Asked by: Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether there will be a further public consultation regarding proposed new data protection legislation; whether Parliament has been previously informed about such a consultation; and when the consultation is to take place.

Answered by Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay - Shadow Minister (Culture, Media and Sport)

The second reading of the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill was postponed to allow new ministers to consider the legislation. We will continue to engage with businesses and civil society organisations to ensure the regime works for all, but this will not take the form of another formal public consultation and will not affect the timeline of the Bill.

"My Lords, I support my noble friend’s amendments. The points that he made apply almost entirely to Amendments 91, 92 and 94, which relate to later parts of the Bill, including particularly the phraseology “solely” and in Amendment 94 “solely” or “partially”.

I am pleased that the noble Baroness, Lady …..."

Government Amendment 44 alters that by removing some of the protections from the list; in other words, the protections would continue to apply …..."

"My Lords, I am obviously disappointed by both those speeches. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Kennedy, that immigration control should be effective and fair, which is precisely what I was driving at. He referred to balance; I quoted article 23(1), which requires necessity and proportionality.

I thank the …..."
