In a recent development, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has issued an apology to former NatWest head Dame Alison Rose after mistakenly suggesting she breached privacy laws in connection with the closure of Nigel Farage’s bank account.
The ICO clarified that its comments from last month, implying an investigation into Dame Alison, were inaccurate. The probe, it clarified, focused on NatWest’s actions as a data controller rather than scrutinising Dame Alison Rose directly.
