I read through the detailed government response. They still allow companies to apply DRM measures, but if this would prevent a permitted act, such as copying between devices, you can apply to some central agency for redress. However, such redress could be advice to purchase an additional copy in a format that would work...
Stripping DRM would therefore still be illegal in the UK, as far as I can see.
