Priorities for Elizabeth Denham: Grow capacity of @ICOnews with number of staff & skills; Extend Freedom of Information to private sector providers of public services; Fairness of use of data in political campaigning. Great - all issues @RoyalStatSoc has raised #IFGDenham
She also says @ICOnews is dealing with double the number of complaints compared to two years ago. And she rightly says to deal with systemic issues (such as ad tech) the regulator is moving to be proactive, rather than waiting for individual complaints #IfGDenham
Elizabeth Denham says @ICOnews has the ability to audit the data governance arrangements of large tech companies. She indicates that with the current interest in setting up new regulators in this area, the @ICOnews will remain central #IfGDenham
The Information Commission @ICOnews will hit 800 staff in 2020 says Elizabeth Denham #IfGDenham
Pleased to hear Elizabeth Denham @ICOnews talking at @instituteforgov #IFGDenham about the need for private sector providers of public services being transparent and subject to FoI - something we called for @RoyalStatSoc as part of our #DataManifesto
