Civil Service World has published an article by Information Commissioner John Edwards. In the article, Mr Edwards expressed that he doesn't believe the "proposed reform should be seen as radical. The UK has a deep legal and cultural commitment to privacy, which traces its roots not to the GDPR or a European Directive but to common law formulations of fundamental rights that are centuries old. The proposed reforms can offer a streamlined law that still effectively protects people's rights. And from a public sector perspective, there is nothing in the latest reforms that look to impose additional burdens."
