A
BILL
to
This bill establishes an independent public inquiry to investigate data breaches affecting individuals who participated in UK resettlement schemes for people fleeing Afghanistan, particularly following the Taliban's takeover in 2021. The inquiry would examine how personal information was compromised, who was responsible, and what safeguards failed. It aims to provide transparency to affected individuals and families about what happened to their data and hold relevant organisations accountable for any failures in data protection.
Presented by James MacCleary.
