Data Protection Minister warns DUA Bill could fail
10/06/2025 | The Standard
Chris Bryant, Minister of State for Data Protection and Telecoms at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), has warned that the existence of the Data (Use and Access) Bill (DUA Bill) is being threatened by the ongoing refusal by the House of Lords to bring an end to the parliamentary ping-pong. "
The dispute concerns amendments to clauses regarding artificial intelligence and copyright proposed by Baroness Kidron. The Lords twice passed an amendment requiring transparency for copyright holders, but the government, which opposes the amendment, has consistently removed it in the House of Commons. The government won the latest vote by 304 votes to 189, with a majority of 115.
As a concession, the government has offered to provide a parliamentary statement six months after the passage of the Bill, updating MPs on the economic impact assessment, alongside a report on the use of copyrighted works in the development of AI.
The Bill will now head back to the Lords.
