Data Security: UK Citizens
Debate between Lord Vaux of Harrowden and Baroness Ramsey of Wall Heath
Baroness Ramsey of Wall Heath (Lab)
The Government take a balanced approach to this, ensuring that public sector systems are secure, resilient and effective while benefiting global innovation. The overarching point is that the Government remain committed to protecting UK citizens’ personal data and continuing to keep other countries’ obligations around personal data under careful review, with the Secretary of State for DCMS being satisfied at all times that the level of data protection afforded to the UK data subjects in a given country or territory is not materially lower than that of GDPR.
Lord Vaux of Harrowden (CB)
My Lords, what assessment have the Government made of the amount, type and usage of data transmitted to China by Chinese-manufactured cars?
Baroness Ramsey of Wall Heath (Lab)
That is a very specialist question. On my first outing on data at this particular Dispatch Box, I would like to say to the noble Lord that I would be more than happy to write to him with the details.
