answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>The Data Protection Bill, which recently received its second reading, will create a modern legal framework for the UK, suitable for the digital age, incorporating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It will require either clearer and affirmative consent from individuals to be sought, or apply additional safeguards where data processing is allowed in the absence of consent. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recently published draft guidance on consent under the GDPR; this can be found on the ICO's website - www.ico.org.uk.</p><p> </p><p>Under the new law where direct marketing by post involves the processing of personal data, data controllers will need a legal basis for such processing. Article 6 of GDPR lists a number of possible legal bases which in certain circumstances can be relied upon by data controllers. Where no other legal basis applies then the consent of the data subject will be required.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 16/10/2017 14:42:21 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

The Government will continue its longstanding programme of support for the sector’s competitiveness.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has fundamentally reformed regulation of the consumer credit market, transferring regulatory responsibility from the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on 1 April 2014. This more robust regulatory system is helping to deliver the Government’s vision for a well-functioning and sustainable consumer credit market which can meet consumers’ needs.</p><p> </p><p>Car finance companies which offer personal contract purchase products are required to meet the standards that the FCA expects of lenders, including making affordability checks and providing adequate pre-contractual explanations to consumers. FCA rules are binding, and the FCA has a wide enforcement toolkit to take action wherever these rules are breached.</p><p> </p><p>The FCA is committed to tackling sources of consumer detriment, and is looking at the car finance market to ensure that it works well and to assess whether consumers are at risk of harm. The FCA is carrying out supervisory work with lenders, and is carefully scrutinising firms’ sales practices and processes, to decide what further interventions may be necessary. This work includes assessing how well firms are managing the risk that asset valuations could fall, and how they ensure that they adequately price risk. The FCA will publish an update on this work in Q1 2018.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay grouped question UIN 106892 question first answered 17/10/2017 16:04:52 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
