Reform of the data protection framework has been a major preoccupation of the UK post-Brexit.  It was given emphasis in the National Data Strategy in 2020, led to the Government’s Data: A New Direction paper and consultation in 2021 and resulted the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill being introduced (although subsequently paused) in the House of Commons in 2022. 

This area is also a significant focus of CIPIL’s information law work.  This page provides an ongoing summary of key output produced by individuals in this area whilst affiliated with CIPIL.  A number of these have been written by Professor David Erdos, the Co-Director of CIPIL who coordinates this strand of activity.
