Proceeding contribution from Ian Lucas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 May 2018. It occurred during Debate on bill on Data Protection Bill [Lords].


Data Protection Bill [Lords]

In his intervention, the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe (Mr Clarke) just talked about the importance of an independent regulator. Is it not the case, however, that IPSO is not independent? It was set up by the press and its terms of reference are

those of the press; it is not an independent regulator. It is about time the Government accepted that. Does the Secretary of State agree?
