Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL] - Commons Amendments – in the House of Lords at 7:36 pm on 12 May 2025.
Moved by Viscount Camrose
52A: Leave out from “House” to end and insert “do disagree with the Commons in their Amendment 52, and do propose Amendments 52B and 52C to the words so restored to the Bill—
52B: Clause 140, page 173, line 15, leave out “core personal data attributes” and insert “sex data”
52C: Clause 140, page 173, line 21, at end insert—“(3) For the purposes of this section, sex data must be collected in accordance with the following category terms and definitions—(a) “sex” meaning male or female only based on “sex at birth”, “natal sex” or “biological sex” (these terms carrying the same meaning and capable of being used interchangeably), and(b) in addition, where it is lawful to do so in accordance with data protection legislation and the Gender Recognition Act 2004, “acquired gender” meaning male or female only, as recorded on a gender recognition certificate issued in accordance with the Gender Recognition Act 2004.””
A little time has elapsed since the original debate, but I beg leave to test the opinion of the House.
Ayes 164, Noes 152.
