Sex: Databases
The question
What assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords] on the capture of sex data in public services.
Answered by Chris Bryant
The Data Bill does not alter data collection practices for public services.
Public service providers processing personal data are still subject to compliance requirements under data protection legislation.
The Government accepts the Supreme Court Ruling. We are working through this judgement carefully, including on how public services collect (and subsequently process) sex data in public services.
