King’s speech sets out Labour’s plans for cyber security, digital and data

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced plans for legislation to enhance cybersecurity and the use of digital and data services. The proposed Cyber Security and Resilience Bill will regulate broader digital services and supply chains, ensuring cybersecurity measures and mandating higher incident reporting to strengthen government response to cyber attacks. A new Digital Information and Smart Data Bill is designed to facilitate innovative data uses. The legislation did not include expected AI bill, leading to concerns on the lack of AI adoption strategy in the NHS.
