The two main political parties (Conservative and Labour)
competing to win the general election on 4 July 2024 have published
their manifestos.
The Conservative Party manifesto does not mention the Data Protection
and Digital Information Bill (DPDI Bill), which fell after the "wash-up" period. However it does
say that "only the Conservatives will keep on removing EU
laws from our statute book". The bill aimed to clarify
and simplify obligations under the UK GDPR.

Following the announcement of the UK general election being
called for 4 July 2024, Parliament has been prorogued. This means
that any legislation that was not passed during the short wash-up
period which ended on 24 May 2024 will now fall away and we will
have to wait to see whether the newly elected government will
introduce the legislation. See our Insight for more details on this wash-up
period.
