answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2018 answer text <p>The Data Protection Bill seeks to enhance UK citizens’ data rights. Clause 180 of the bill, in conjunction with article 80(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), provides data subjects with the right to request an authorised non-profit organisation which has statutory objectives in the public interest and which is active in the field of data protection to bring a legal claim on their behalf. Taken together with the right of individuals and organisations to complain to the Information Commissioner when they have concerns about the processing activities of particular companies, this will ensure children and their parents can rely on a range of redress mechanisms.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 24/04/2018 12:08:46 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
