That’s a lot of burden. The other thing is that because technically a minister have the final power over whether their DPA find something objectionable or not, it’s true that if a ministry’s public servants do something, it’s less likely that their minister would say that you’re wrong. It’s why GDPR insists on independent DPA. It’s just human nature if you report to a minister, you’re less likely to say that a minister violates privacy.
