The committee said in a statement that Nix “cites the Information Commissioner’s Office’s ongoing investigation as a reason not to appear.” The Information Commissioner’s Office, a regulatory body that issues fines on data privacy issues in the UK, has been conducting an investigation since last month. Earlier reports suggested that Nix was under criminal investigation, but the DCMS confirmed to Quartz that this is not the case.
