DMA to host debate in Parliament

On Tuesday 25 October at 5 pm, the DMA will be hosting a debate in Westminster on the motion:

Industry co-regulation will protect consumers more than an Information Commissioner fine ever could.

With high-profile speakers from industry we are set for a fiery debate!

Proposing the motion is DMC Chief Commissioner, Amerdeep Somal and Chief Strategy Officer at Pool Data, Gilbert Hill. Opposing the motion is PwC’s Data Protection Strategy, Law and Compliance Services Director, Fedelma Good, and one other speaker to be confirmed.

The debate will be chaired by Hannah Bardell MP (Livingston) who, prior to becoming an MP, worked in commercial television, marketing and comms. Come along and you can also put your arguments forward during the discussion. You can then continue to chew the fat at the post-debate reception at the (politically infamous) Red Lion pub.

This debate is hosted as part of the Debating Group, which brings together 12 bodies in the advertising industry to take turns hosting debates on hot topic subjects in the palace of Westminster.
