Data Protection and Digital Information Bill: Third Reading

Government Bill Digital / Online Safety

What this vote was about

This was the final Commons vote (Third Reading) on the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, the Government's post-Brexit overhaul of the UK's data protection rules. The Bill reworked the data protection regime the UK inherited from the EU (UK GDPR), aiming to make it, in the Government's words, more flexible and less burdensome for businesses; it also replaced the Information Commissioner's Office with a new Information Commission and changed how people make "subject access requests" for their own data. Opposition MPs criticised the process, arguing the Government had tabled a large number of significant amendments too late for proper scrutiny. MPs approved the Bill by 269 votes to 31, sending it on to the House of Lords. (The Bill ultimately fell when the 2024 general election was called before it completed its passage.)
