Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to strengthen the regulation of online food takeaway platforms to protect the payment information of local businesses.

Regulation when well designed and carefully implemented, is important for promoting growth and investment. It is essential for protecting consumers, supporting vulnerable communities, and providing the stability businesses need to thrive.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulations organisations must have appropriate technical and security measures in place to protect the personal data they hold or disclose, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
