Data Protection Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Chi Onwurah (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Data Protection Bill [Lords].

I am grateful to the Secretary of State for his opening remarks about the importance of the House supporting technology. He will know that data drives our economy and society in ways that people can find difficult to follow. The internet of things will increase exponentially the data trail we all leave, but the digital charter suggests only that private companies follow best practice. Does he not recognise the importance of data rights? Why is he not bringing forward a Bill of data rights?
