UK Data (Use and Access) Bill sees first government changes on accuracy checks and open banking
MLex: On 4 March 2025, the UK government made changes to the Data (Use and Access) Bill (the Bill) going through Parliament, apparently broadly focused on underpinning economic growth in digital services and open banking. One change to the Bill reversed an amendment made by lawmakers that would require the technology minister to assess whether public authorities are reliably checking personal data they collect and share for digital verification services. The other will give the UK finance regulator powers to oversee and write rules for the open banking system.
