The announcement is available here. The changes result from the May 2011 Hargreaves review of IP and growth [pdf] whose recommendations for modernised copyright exceptions were accepted by the government [pdf]. The IPO has now posted proposals for a new exception for private copying [pdf]; parody [pdf]; and quotation [pdf]. The government also proposes to amend the existing exception for public administration [pdf]. Drafts for other exceptions will be published when they are ready, the IPO said. Comments on the first four exceptions are due 17 July to copyrightconsultation@ipo.gov.uk.
