What the petition asks
The Home Office has been given an exemption from GDPR and the data protection Act 2018. Citizens have a right to know what is being discussed with regard to their cases and an exemption puts us at risk of more scandals such as windrush.
Citizens should not be denied the right to their data and further exclusions from society.
