正文(英文) | Press release Regulation rulebook rewritten to ensure UK leads tech revolution and empowers consumersNew measures will transform the UK’s regulatory system to support innovation while empowering consumers. ![]()
New measures announced today (11 June 2019) will free up businesses and innovators to test their ideas, make use of the latest technologies and get their products to market quicker – keeping the UK at the forefront of innovation. Regulation for the Fourth Industrial RevolutionSpeaking at London Tech Week, Business Secretary Greg Clark will say the proposed reforms will ensure an agile and flexible approach to regulation in the UK, a key part of the government’s modern Industrial Strategy. This will allow entrepreneurs and business to embrace innovation, seize the opportunities of cutting-edge technology and bring transformative products to market - such as personalised medicine or pioneering new modes of transport - to benefit consumers and other businesses. These measures include:
Business Secretary Greg Clark said:
Smart DataEmpowering consumers to benefit from their own data and get fair dealsToday, the government also announced the outcome of its Smart Data Review with proposed measures to ensure consumers’ data is handled with the security that they would rightly expect when agreeing to share it with third parties for offers of better deals. Plans include the establishment of a new cross-sectoral Smart Data Function to oversee the use of smart data in different markets. This could allow firms to develop apps that can help consumers manage their household bills in one place and prompt them when a better deal becomes available. The review recognises the changing pace of technology, and increased availability of data of how people use services, such as energy consumption or mobile phone usage – but that customers can often have to wait to gain access to their own information, and cannot use it effectively enough to shop around for the best deals. Under proposals published today, this data would instead be easily and instantly accessible to consumers and, if consented to, safely and securely transferred to third party services. This could include price comparison websites, who would then use this data to find fairer deals – whether for energy services, new mobile phone contracts or broadband. Business Secretary Greg Clark added:
Protecting vulnerable consumersThe proposals from the Smart Data Review also include measures to protect vulnerable customers: for example, a new Vulnerable Consumer Challenge will encourage innovators, charities and regulators to ensure their most vulnerable and least digitally engaged customers are able to enjoy the best deals. Notes to editorsThe white paper on ‘Regulation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution’ reflects the government’s Industrial Strategy ambition to make the UK the world’s most innovative economy. It matches the government’s record increase in R&D investment by making it easier for new products and services to come to market. It builds on the UK’s world-leading business environment:
The Regulators’ Pioneer Fund, launched in 2018, is currently investing in 15 unique projects to unlock opportunities identified in the government’s modern Industrial Strategy. The fund builds on the Financial Conduct Authority’s pioneering initiative to support the UK’s fledgling FinTech industry by establishing the world’s first ‘regulatory sandbox’: a safe space where firms can work with the regulator to trial innovative products, services and business models with consumers. The concept has since been copied by more than 20 countries worldwide. Awards include:
