UK: Data breach regulations running late

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has missed a March deadline to bring in new data protection powers.

According to The Register, the ICO was due to gain the power to fine organisations who lose personal data. To introduce the regulations, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) must publish secondary legislation. So far, the department has refused to reveal when this will happen or why it missed the target.
