answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2018 answer text <p>I am in regular contact with the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union and other Cabinet colleagues on a wide range of issues, including mobile connectivity in Scotland. The Government recognises that there are specific consumer measures associated with the Digital Single Market. The White Paper on the UK’s exit from the EU proposes new arrangements for services and digital sectors, recognising that the UK and the EU will not have current levels of access to each other’s markets. That approach would not preclude discussions with the EU on arrangements for consumers, for example in the area of mobile roaming.</p> answering member constituency Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale answering member printed David Mundell question first answered 13/09/2018 12:31:14 answering member 1512 label Biography information for David Mundell
