The Data Protection Act 2018 makes our data protection laws fit for the digital age in which an ever increasing amount of data is being processed and empowers people to take control of their data.

The NCSC and ICO have been made aware of the issue concerning Facebook and are working together with the relevant authorities. The ICO, as the UK's independent regulator for data protection, is making enquiries with Facebook and their overseas counterparts to establish the scale of the breach and if any UK citizens have been affected.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 15/10/2018 15:17:56 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
