The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill 2022-23

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill  [Bill 143 2022-23] was introduced in the House of Commons on 18 July 2022. The Bill was scheduled to have its second reading on 5 September 2022. However, in a Business Statement on that date, the Government said that, following the election of Elizabeth Truss as Conservative Party leader, second reading would not take place as scheduled to allow Ministers to consider the Bill further.

The Bill was withdrawn on 8 March 2023. The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (No. 2) Bill was introduced on the same date. Much of the new Bill is the same as the withdrawn one. A separate Library Briefing is available on the new Bill.
