Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many automated decision-making systems are currently in use by the Cabinet Office to assist with making decisions that affect people’s legal rights or entitlements; and how many of those systems have publicly available equality impact assessments or data protection impact assessments or both.
I refer the noble Lord to the answer provided by the other House on 21st July to question UIN 194005.
Automated decision making in Government is compliant with provisions in GDPR and the Data Protection Act, which includes the right for a data subject to request “a new decision that is not based solely on automated processing”.
The Government has an Ethics, Transparency and Accountability Framework for Automated Decision-Making.
