Proceeding contribution from Lord May of Oxford (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Protection of Freedoms Bill.

Protection of Freedoms Bill

I express my approval of the amendment. I would go beyond the noble Baroness, Lady Blackstone, in saying that I understand science to embrace the social sciences within it. In this case, it goes wider than that in extending increasingly the large areas of the humanities that use large databases. It is a really important problem and the spirit of this amendment addresses it in a significant way. I very much hope that all that has been said here is taken to heart.
