answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2020 answer text <p>The Government conducted a comprehensive, evidence-based review into the telecoms supply chain, which was published in July 2019. The final conclusions of the Government’s Telecoms Supply Chain Review in relation to high risk vendors were announced on 28 January and provided the details of the additional steps it will be necessary to take to mitigate the risk from high risk vendors.

We want to get to a position where we do not have to use a high risk vendor in our telecoms networks at all.</p><p> </p><p>The conclusions of the Review were based on security analysis from our world-leading cybersecurity experts, and took into account the full range of issues and risks.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 25/03/2020 11:27:18 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL2372
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2020 answer text <p>It is important that women and men are recognised and paid equally for doing the same work. I welcome the positive step that has been taken to ensure that all companies in Great Britain with more than 250 employees are required to report their gender pay gap to the Government Equalities Office.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We know there is some work to do to narrow the gender pay gap across the sport sector. If this is to happen progress must continue to be made in the wider culture of sport to ensure women are treated equally to men at all levels. I am pleased to see Lewes FC paving the way by paying their women’s team the same wages as their men’s team and we hope others can look at how they can reduce gender pay gaps.</p><p>In order to close the gender pay gap it is also crucial that we provide greater exposure and commercial opportunities. As part of a broader aim to support greater equality of coverage, in September 2019 the government consulted on whether to add women’s equivalents of men’s events currently on the list to both group A and group B categories. The consultation closed on 11 December 2019. The government is now carefully considering the responses in detail and we will respond in due course.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 18/03/2020 12:13:37 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the case for introducing legislation to permit the legal ownership of personal data.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL1965
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2020 answer text <p>The word ‘ownership’ usually implies certain rights over a property such as being able to use it, sell it or give it away, but this is unlikely to be a workable concept in the wide range of circumstances that processing of personal data occurs. Data protection legislation in the UK does, however, impose obligations on data controllers to process personal data lawfully and transparently in a way that individuals would expect. It also gives individuals specific rights in relation to their data. These include rights to seek access to, rectify or erase their data or to object to its continued processing.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 11/03/2020 13:41:27 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2020 answer text <p>As outlined in the Government’s ‘The Online Harms White Paper - Initial consultation response’, published on 12 February 2020, “The White Paper makes clear that in order to recoup both the implementation costs and running costs of the regulator, the government is considering fees, charges or a levy on companies whose services are in scope. This could fund the full range of the regulator’s activity. The government intends the new regulator to become cost neutral to the public sector.” The Government is carrying out extensive analysis on potential funding options taking Ofcom’s existing funding structure into consideration. Full details on the funding mechanism for the Online Harms regulatory regime will be set out in due course.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 25/02/2020 16:13:48 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

uin	HL1543
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2020 answer text <p>All organisations that process data that contains personal or identifying information about individuals in the UK must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. The Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations 2003 also imposes certain restrictions on the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes.</p><p>These rules impose strict obligations on organisations to process people’s data fairly and lawfully and to ensure that any data collected is held securely. Organisations must also ensure they have a legal basis for processing data, are clear and transparent about how personal data will be handled, and ensure that the data is processed in a way which individuals would expect. Organisations that fail to comply may be subject to enforcement action by the Information Commissioner’s Office.</p><p>The ICO are consulting on a draft code of practice on Direct Marking, which is available on the ICO's website.</p><p>Last year the government announced its intention to consider how online advertising is regulated in the UK. One of the key aims of this work is to drive transparent and ethical targeting practices for advertising online so that consumers are informed, empowered and can have trust in online advertising. The Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation published a Review of online targeting on the 4th February 2020, which explicitly considers the impact of targeting on vulnerable people. This included a number of recommendations which the Government is considering; we will respond to the report by October. In addition, the ICO is currently investigating real time bidding practices within online advertising to ensure they are GDPR compliant.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 25/02/2020 14:38:33 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
