Data Protection Bill [HL]

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

My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Deben, said that a small number of people do everything in small communities. It sometimes feels like that here. I do not think that we need to say much more; all the issues have been raised and I am sure that when he responds, the Minister will answer some, if not all, of the questions. The underlying theme is that we do not want to spoil what is a very good Bill with desirable aims by failing to pick up all the areas that it needs to address, because there will be benefits from it, as we have heard. I think that the Government understand that, but they must not be in the position of willing the ends of policy without also willing the means.
