Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 April 2024. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.

Data Protection and Digital Information Bill

Before the noble Lord gets there and we move too far from Amendment 154, where does the Government’s thinking leave us regarding a group of class actions? Trade unions take up causes on behalf of their membership at large. I guess, in the issue of the Post Office and Mr Bates, not every sub-postmaster or sub-postmistress would have signed up to that class action, even though they may have ended up being beneficiaries of its effects. So where does it leave people with regard to data protection and the way that the data protection scheme operates where there might be a class action?
