Data Protection

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if he will publish (a) a list of the public bodies and agencies who have been found in breach of the General Data Protection Regulations since they came into force in May 2018 and (b) details of any fines that may have been imposed by the Information Commissioner's Office as a result of any breaches.

Answer

The Government takes the protection of personal data and the right to privacy extremely seriously.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the independent regulator for data protection in the UK and is responsible for regulating compliance with data protection legislation. The Information Commissioner has the power to serve fines on a data controller as a result of a data breach. Details of enforcement action, including fines, are published on the ICO website at www.ico.org.uk/action-weve-taken
