Data Protection Bill [Lords]

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

The point is that the investigation is sort of happening now through the civil courts, except that it is individual members of the public who have to fork out £350,000 or £450,000 in legal fees to get to the truth. In Leveson 1, Brian Leveson was expressly not able to look at anything for which there might have been any criminal charges. The fact that the Daily Mirror has now admitted—in the civil courts, but not to Leveson—that it did engage in phone hacking is one of the matters that still has not come to the public.
