We define it pretty clearly in paragraph 1(2). In the…24 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillI will certainly take that back. I do not want to make any commitments today.

As the noble Baroness has alluded to, this conversation is designed to consider…23 Apr 2024HANSARDPersonal Independence PaymentsThe right reverend Prelate makes a very good point.

As has been mentioned earlier,…23 Apr 2024HANSARDPersonal Independence PaymentsMy Lords, we will shortly publish a consultation on personal independence payments.

I am not sure that I can give too much more clarity—only that I will go back to what I said on the first group in terms of the…22 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillI do not agree with that. We have done quite a lot of business together across the Chamber. That is a slightly sweeping issue, because I have given some reassurance that we are…22 Apr 2024HANSARDData Protection and Digital Information BillThat is part of the answer that I gave to the noble Lord, Lord Vaux, which I think is a fair point.
