On 18 May 2021, the Government published its response following its consultation on the National Data Strategy launched in September 2020. With a foreword referring to 'data as the great opportunity of our time', and stressing the need to 'rebalance' the data narrative from one focused on risks and on privacy, to one that 'unleashes the power of data' across the UK economy and society, the Government outlines a number of 'missions' and objectives for creating an environment of data-led innovation.
