U.K. Minister of State in the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology Julia Lopez presented the proposed Data Protection and Digital Information Bill for its second reading in the U.K. House of Commons. During the exchange with members of Parliament, Lopez said the bill was "co-designed" with stakeholders "to ensure that our regulation reflects the way in which real people live their lives and run their businesses." Lopez added current rules under the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation are "too vague, too complex and too confusing always to understand."
