Data Protection Bill [HL]

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

I am not suggesting that breaches do not occur; I am not an apologist. My position is that if and when errors are made and wrongful acts occur, the law has ample means of dealing with them. We do not set up a massive public inquiry in areas of the law or practice whenever there is a risk that wrongful acts are going to take place. My position is that we have inquired sufficiently into these matters, and to the extent that there are still wrongful things going on, the law provides perfectly adequate remedies, and indeed under this Act there will be perfectly adequate administrative procedures.
