The Home Secretary launched the review of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 on 11 May, announcing a public Call for Information to seek the views of stakeholders on how the Act, and law enforcement powers to investigate the offences in the Act, can be enhanced. The Call for Information has now closed, and the Home Office is reviewing the proposals made.

We will provide an update to Parliament in due course.
