answer text <p>The Government takes the issue of gender inequalities very seriously. I have carefully noted the points made about the current system of hereditary peerage in the context of the Hereditary Titles (Female Succession) Bill. However, this issue is complex and is linked with several equally complex issues, including the system of courtesy titles.</p><p>Under the current arrangements, the Equality Act 2010 provides that neither a life peerage nor a hereditary peerage (as an honour conferred by the Crown), is a public or personal office for the purposes of the Act. This exemption means the rules surrounding the by-elections of hereditary peers is ultimately a matter for the House of Lords in regulating its own affairs.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Many countries, including the United Kingdom, assert extra-territorial jurisdiction in relation to some of their investigative powers as a crucial means of preventing and prosecuting crime in a world where evidence is increasingly digital and controlled overseas. The Government understands that the CLOUD Act clarified provisions of United States’ law in relation to the US authorities’ ability to obtain certain data hosted abroad and did not mark a radical expansion to the scope or reach of their powers. The Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation provide robust safeguards to protect the privacy of those in the UK, and we are committed to working with other governments including the US to ensure that privacy is properly respected where jurisdictional interests overlap.</p> more like this
