Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill – in the House of Commons at 8:15 pm on 17 March 2025.
Amendment made: 118, page 23, line 3, at end insert—
“(2) None of the provisions in or made by virtue of this section are to be read as requiring or authorising the processing of information which would contravene the data protection legislation (but in determining whether the processing would do so, take into account the duty imposed or the power conferred by the provision in question).
(3) In this section, “the data protection legislation” and “processing” have the same meaning as in section 3 of the Data Protection Act 2018.”—(Stephen Morgan.)
This amendment ensures that the provisions in or made under section 30ZD of the Care Standards Act 2000 (inserted by clause 13) do not override the provisions in the data protection legislation.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
