Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, for what time periods his Department did not have a dedicated data protection officer with responsibility for his Department's obligations under the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulations since May 2018.

There was no period of time when the Attorney General’s Office was without a Data Protection Officer. Prior to the appointment being confirmed 21^st June 2018 the AGO had a temporary arrangement whereby someone was informally performing the role of Data Protection Officer.
