HANSARDChild PovertyMy Lords, I am pleased to close this important debate on addressing the root causes of child poverty. It will be interesting to check with Hansard on whether this is indeed a…29 Apr 2024HANSARDChild PovertyAbsolutely. As I have said before, I do not think that we will agree at all on this—but, as I say, we are not minded to move on this policy. Both noble Baronesses will be well…29 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillBefore the noble Baroness sits down, I want to say one very important thing. As ever with Bills, there is an opportunity to engage, and I pledge right now to engage with all noble…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillNo, I did not, but that is something which surely we can deal with outside the Room. However, I can assure noble Lords that it is in there.24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillIndeed, that is correct. I hope that is helpful and gives the noble Lord reassurance. To clarify, we have our normal business-as-usual processes so, where we are able to—with the…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillI reassure noble Lords that is correct—it is paragraph 1(1). It may be rather complex, but it is in there, just to reassure all noble Lords.24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillIndeed, I was going to come on to that later in my remarks, particularly to address the points raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Sherlock. We need the necessary time to continue…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillIf I may just answer that question from the noble Lord, Lord Anderson; I think it is important to take one question at a time. I have every sympathy with what the noble Lord has…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillMy Lords, this has been a somewhat shorter debate than we have been used to, bearing in mind Monday’s experience. As with the first two groups debated then, many contributions…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillI understand, very quickly, that it is in paragraph 1(1), but again, in the interests of time, maybe we could talk about that outside the Room.24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillThat is correct. I hope indeed that it provides some reassurance that extending it to the banks and financial institutions initially is deliberately designed to be narrow. It…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillI will certainly take that back. I do not want to make any commitments today. I have already set out our stall as to where we are. I make the further point—I am perhaps repeating…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillIndeed, I think we are going back to the debates that we had on Monday. However, this chimes with a question from the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, so it might be helpful…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillMy understanding —with his experience, I am sure that the noble Lord will be ahead of me on this—is that this is defined. We define it pretty clearly in paragraph 1(2). In the…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillI can reassure the noble Lord that that is the case, yes.24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillI appreciate the tone of the noble Lord and, if there is anything that comes from behind me before I conclude my remarks, to be helpful, I will certainly do that. Our debates on…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillYes, £500 million. I mentioned £600 million altogether; that was mentioned by the OBR, which had certified this, and by the way, that figure was in the Autumn Statement.24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillI hope I can help both noble Lords. Although I must admit that I have not read every single page, I understand that the figure of £500 million is in the IA.24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillThat is a very fair question, and I hope that I understand it correctly. I can say that the limit for the DWP is that it can gain only from what the third party produces. Whatever…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillI need to be reminded of the question.24 Apr 2024
