These Regulations amend paragraph 14 of Schedule 20 to the Data Protection Act 2018 (c. 12) (“the 2018 Act”).

These Regulations amend paragraph 14 to extend the availability of the exemption until 6th May 2026.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector or community bodies is foreseen.
