I encourage you to contact your MP, the Minister of Health, and your institution. This has already been bulldozed through with a 15 day requirement to meet the request. Watching politicians vandalize scientific institutions is distressing enough next door, let's not start here.

This includes grants and fellowships. Student's personal statements, letters of support. Everything. Do we have no protections for student privacy in this country?

These data will become part of the parliamentary record, a massive breach of privacy and confidentiality. Applicants of course waive some confidentialiy rights as condition of applying for and receiving funding. But confidentiality in peer review is sacrosanct.
