Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many small clubs, charities, and small and medium-sized enterprises they estimate were unable to meet the General Data Protection Regulation requirements by 25 May.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is responsible for monitoring compliance with the UK's new data protection laws.

The Information Commissioner has publicly stated that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a journey rather than a destination. She will be looking to organisations to demonstrate that they are committed to making progress towards embedding the right processes and procedures.

The Information Commissioner’s Office has published a range of user-friendly material on the GDPR on its website. It has also set up a dedicated phone line for small businesses and charities.
