The Lords passed an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, defeating the Government. It still needs to be approved by MPs in the House of Commons
The amendment would make it a criminal offence to “intentionally or recklessly disclose information contained in personal data to another person, repeatedly and negligently allow information to be contained in personal data to be disclosed, or intentionally or recklessly fail to comply with [their] duties”.
