Yup - according to several ex-staffers I've spoken to that meant slashing salaries and cuttting staffing numbers.

The ICO has always been the UK's smoke-and-mirrors version of compliance with EU requirements. Underfunding it and restricting its powers were deliberate acts to prevent it actually being useful.

One of the more ironic results of Brexit is that the government will be _forced_ to properly fund and support the ICO in order to maintain trading relations with the EU.
