answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>In the event that we leave the EU without a deal, the costs that EU mobile operators would be able to charge UK operators for providing roaming services would no longer be regulated by the EU. This would mean that surcharge-free roaming when UK consumers travel to the EU, and EU consumers travel to the UK, could no longer be guaranteed. However, the four mobile operators - O2, EE, Three and Vodafone - have all stated they have no current plans to change their approach to mobile roaming for their customers roaming in the EU.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 21/05/2019 12:29:17 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
