Data Protection Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Paddick (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 January 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Data Protection Bill [HL].

My Lords, Clause 124(4)(b) refers to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which defines a child as a person under the age of 18, so we can assume that that is the working principle. Clause 124, introduced at a previous stage by an amendment from the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, talks about age-appropriate design, and so presumably that means appropriate at different ages—for example, safeguards for those aged 12 will be different from those for people aged 16 and 18. Bearing in mind the United Nations convention definition, will the Minister confirm that that is the working principle for this Bill?
