Data Protection Act 2018 (Amendment of Schedule 2 Exemptions) Regulations 2022

My Lords, I hope that I have outlined what we have done in trying to comply with the Court of Appeal. As I said right at the beginning, if a judicial review is brought with respect to our not complying, I am sure that it will be forthcoming. I hope that I have outlined the steps that we have taken.

We are satisfied as a department that the judgment and Article 23 have been complied with in full. The Court of Appeal was clear that it was for the department to decide which safeguards were relevant and that not all of them necessarily would be—that was in paragraph 54 of the judgment.

I will study what noble Lords have said and add to what I have said today if necessary—obviously, the Liberal Democrats are going to bring forward a regret Motion—but, with that, I commend the regulations to the Committee.
