For public service delivery, the existing power under section 35 of the Digital Economy Act 2017 allows for data sharing that benefits households and individuals. With the intention of facilitating more responsive, joined-up public services across the digital economy, this Act extends powers under section 35 to allow data sharing to deliver public services to businesses.
	The aim of extending the powers is to enable businesses to access public services and support more easily, giving them easier access to information, guidance and business support services.
