DP Bill Moves Closer to Royal Assent

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill has now completed the Grand Committee stage in the House of Lords. It will now enter Report stage in the House of Lords. Whilst amendments can still be made, the Bill as amended by the Grand Committee can be read here.

The Bill will make changes to the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (“PECR”). The Keeling Schedules, showing changes to the UK GDPR, might be more useful, though they were published in March before the Grand Committee stage.

Subject to an early General Election being called, the Bill will receive Royal Assent before the Parliamentary Summer Recess begins on 23rd July 2024.
