Data Protection Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 10 January 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Data Protection Bill [HL].

To regain some favour with my noble friend the Minister, may I just say a little word about affirmative orders? It is tempting to say that we should have affirmative procedure but, at the end of the day, we will have at some point to debate those affirmative orders, and they keep mounting up. In respect of negative instruments, there is a praying period and we can flag them up for debate and have them debated in the Chamber in exactly the same way as we can an affirmative order.
