answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold this information. BT gainshare/clawback was built into all of the Superfast contracts. This has been re-invested into a number of recent Superfast contracts and change requests. However those contracts and change requests also included a blend of other funding from BDUK, Local Bodies, Suppliers, ERDF and EAFRD. Furthermore in many cases those contracts have consisted of a mixture of Fibre to the Cabinet and Fibre to the Premise. Therefore it is difficult to determine a one to one correlation between clawback and Full Fibre connections.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 14/01/2019 16:09:25 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on the UK’s digital sector of the UK leaving the EU without an adequacy agreement to ensure uninterrupted UK-EU data transfers.

uin	205834
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2019 answer text <p>The impact of exiting the EU has been modelled for the UK economy as a whole. Several potential exit scenarios were explored in the government's EU Exit: Long-term Economic Analysis which was published in November 2018. No specific assessment has been made about the potential disruption to the UK’s digital sector. However, the Government has consistently made clear that many EU and UK businesses and public sector organisations rely on the free flow of personal data to fulfil their obligations and therefore maintaining the free flow of personal data is a priority for the Government.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Data Protection Act 2018 updated the UK’s rules in accordance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and transposed the Law Enforcement Directive, ensuring our data protection laws will be aligned with those of the EU at our point of exit. We are confident that we will strike a positive relationship on data. The UK and the EU start from a position of trust in each other’s standards and regulatory alignment on data protection. As set out in the Political Declaration, the EU will begin its assessment of the UK as soon as possible after the United Kingdom's withdrawal, endeavouring to adopt decisions by the end of the implementation period. The UK is ready to begin those assessments.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to prioritising an early adequacy decision, it is the job of a responsible Government to prepare for the possibility that we leave the EU without an adequacy agreement in place. On 13 December the Government and the Information Commissioner's Office published detailed information and guidance on data protection in the event that this were to happen. DCMS is engaging with businesses across all sectors of the economy, including the digital sector, to mitigate risks to disruption of international data transfers. In recognition of the unprecedented degree of alignment between the UK and EU’s data protection regimes, the UK would at the point of exit continue to allow the free flow of personal data from the UK to the EU.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 10/01/2019 17:05:13 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
