Data Protection Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 December 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Data Protection Bill [HL].

I am very sorry to hear about the noble Lord’s personal experience and of course I accept everything he says. But will he accept that hundreds of people have brought legal proceedings against national newspaper groups for their wrongful, unlawful action in accessing personal data—for example, by listening to their mobile telephone calls—and publishing articles in consequence of that, and they have recovered very substantial damages, and rightly so, against those newspapers?
