The details of 19,000+ people fleeing the Taliban were leaked in the most serious data breach in British history. At least 49 people have been killed as a result.

And yet the Information Commissioner's Office shrugs.

This isn't an isolated case. It's part of a trend of the ICO not using its enforcement powers.

There's a correlation between the lack of formal regulatory action and a surge in data breaches in the UK.

Enough!

"The ICO’s public sector approach must end before more people are harmed by data breaches at the hands of the government and public authorities.

A data regulator that fails to deter bad practices is not worth having. We need a strong data regulator which is not afraid to take action against both the government and private sector.

We urge the Select Committee to open an inquiry.“
