I work for a household name web company based in the UK. Most people I work with are not even aware that this act has passed, nor the controversy around it. Because the company was not aware, it hasn't done anything to accommodate for the act's requirements.

I don't know if this reflects poorly on my company's regulatory apparatus, or the governments inability to communicate this act to businesses.

Regardless, the British attitude of 'Keep calm, carry on' is a double egded sword that has both positive and negative effects.
