Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL] - Commons Reasons – in the House of Lords at 3:45 pm on 19 May 2025.
Baroness Jones of Whitchurch:
Moved by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch
That this House do not insist on its Amendment 43B, to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 43C.
43C: Because it would not be appropriate to restrict the meaning of “scientific research” in the UK GDPR in the ways proposed by the Lords Amendment.
Motion B agreed.
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.
