Report of the Chamberlain.

Members considered a report of the Chamberlain regarding the forthcoming General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) that would come into effect from May 2018, and the following points were made.

·         The IT Director noted that there was now an element of risk around ensuring compliance with GDPR, noting that there was a potential fine of 4% of turnover in the event of the GDPR being breached.

·         A Member welcomed the report but requested that any further iteration was given input by the Comptroller & City Solicitor’s Department.

·         In response to a question from a Member, the Town Clerk agreed to stablish whether the Sub Committee was due to receive a resolution from the Local Government Pensions Board or Police Pensions Board.

·         In response to a comment from a Member, the IT Director agreed to prepare a paper setting out the implications of the GDPR for relevant City Committees and Boards, including the independent schools.

·         A Member commented that she had recently attended the International Data Privacy Conference, and it was her impression that the new UK Information Commissioner would likely bring new rigor to auditing evidence of compliance.
