The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill no. 2 was introduced to the UK Parliament on 8 March 2023, marking a significant shift in the UK's approach to data protection and digital information management. After its second reading in the House of Lords on 19 December 2023, the bill is now in the committee stage and is anticipated to be finalised in Spring 2024. The bill aims to alleviate the regulatory burdens on businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and to remove impediments faced by scientific researchers.
