BEIS seemingly breached GDPR rules in trying to gather suggestions for 2022 list
Senior executives at hundreds of companies, including some that have profited from the pandemic, like Serco and Amazon, have been urged to come up with nominations for the 2022 new year honours list.
The names of more than 500 business leaders canvassed for suggestions of worthy recipients were inadvertently leaked as a result of a gaffe by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), which accidentally released the top bosses’ direct email addresses.
