New development - Keeling Schedules published for the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill

Published on 07 July 2023

The UK Government published a set of Keeling Schedules on 10 May 2023 for the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill version 2 (the Bill).

A Keeling Schedule is usually included as an appendix to an amendment. The name comes from the MP E.H. Keeling who introduced these types of schedules to help show how an existing statute will read if a proposed amendment is adopted.

The new schedules effectively redline the changes proposed by the Bill against the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, thus making it far easier to review and consider the impact of the proposed changes on existing law.
