answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) regulates the sending of electronic marketing messages (by phone, fax, email or text), as well as the provision of electronic communication services to the public.

Where these rules are not adhered to, the Commissioner is able to issue enforcement notices, as well as fines of up to £500,000.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what support and assistance they are providing to parish and town councils and parish meetings to help them get ready for, and mitigate the financial impact on taxpayers of, the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018; whether they have undertaken an impact assessment on the application of the Data Protection Bill and GDPR on parish and town councils and parish meetings; if so, whether that assessment has been published; and what discussions they have held with the National Association of Local Councils concerning the impact of the Data Protection Bill and GDPR on parish and town councils.
tabling member printed	Baroness Scott of Needham Market
uin	HL4013
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government and the Information Commissioner recognise the challenges facing organisations across the UK in their preparations for the Data Protection Bill and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). There are already resources on the Commissioner's website (ico.org.uk) to help organisations employing fewer than 250 people, including parish councils, prepare. The Commissioner has launched a dedicated helpline service for smaller organisations and has updated its 'SME toolkit' to reflect the requirements of the GDPR. The Commissioner will also be simplifying her &quot;12-step&quot; GDPR preparation guidance in response to feedback from small and micro-enterprises and will continue to develop further guidance on both the Bill and GDPR. Parish Councils, like other data controllers, are currently required to adhere to the Data Protection Act 1998. Although the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does change the requirements on data controllers, the Government's view is that the step up to these new standards will not be a disproportionate burden. Officials have held discussions with the National Association of Local Councils.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 20/12/2017 11:59:49 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
