Data: driving the UK’s growth and productivity
The data-driven economy is critical to our future growth and prosperity. With the Data Protection and Digital Information (DPDI) Bill entering Lords Committee Stage shortly, this is our opportunity to keep the UK at the global forefront of digital innovation, regulation, and governance. We believe that the UK public will also benefit from better use of personal data, which will deliver a stronger economy, more efficient and effective public services, and greater innovation in science and technology. The Advertising and Marketing Industry supports this legislation, but there is a real opportunity to make it even better.

Out of Home Advertising: Unlocking Investment in Infrastructure
Between 2008 and 2021, the Out of Home advertising industry invested £1.1 billion in social infrastructure across the UK. However, the business rates regime has a disproportionate and detrimental effect on the industry, restricting the industry’s ability to invest in local communities, and putting at serious risk the ability of Local Authorities to comply with the Government’s own Net Zero Strategy. These effects will only be compounded by the Non-Domestic Rating Bill. Exempting social infrastructure sites from business rates will unlock additional investment directly into local communities.
