The ICO exists to empower you through information.

John Edwards, Information Commissioner said:

“We welcome the introduction of the Data Use and Access Bill in the House of Lords and look forward to seeing it progress through parliament to Royal Assent. This is an important piece of legislation which will allow my office to continue to operate as a trusted, fair and independent regulator and provide certainty for all organisations as they innovate and promote the UK economy.

“Our response to the bill will be published in due course.”

We have now published our response to the Data (Use and Access) Bill.
