uin	125494
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>On 24 August, the Government published a future partnership paper on how to ensure the continued protection and exchange of personal data between the EU and the UK, in light of the UK's withdrawal from, and new partnership with, the EU. The Government believes it would be in the interests of both the UK and the EU to agree early to mutually recognise each other’s’ data protection frameworks, as the basis for the continued free flow of data between the EU and the UK from the point of exit until such time as new and more permanent arrangements come​ ​into​ ​force. As negotiations on the nature of our future data and trade relationship have not begun, it would be inappropriate to speculate in any detail as to what arrangements we will seek to put in place.</p><p> </p><p>Our objective remains to ensure continued data flows between the EU and countries outside the EEA once the UK leaves the EU. In doing so we will be considering all the available options that will provide legal certainty for businesses and citizens alike.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 02/02/2018 09:47:16 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>Local TV is a relatively new market that has enhanced UK television with quality local news and programming, adding value to the broadcasting industry and increasing plurality in UK news provision.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether the UK will be able to participate in the EU’s spectrum policy framework after the UK leaves the EU.
tabling member constituency	Newcastle upon Tyne Central
tabling member printed	Chi Onwurah
uin	125500
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>The European Electronic Communications Framework is currently subject to re-negotiation by Member States of the EU, renamed the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC). Spectrum management forms a part of this legislation. The UK, as a current member of the EU, is taking a full part in this re-negotiation. We anticipate that the EECC will be adopted by the EU prior to the UK leaving the EU. The Government’s white paper “Legislating for the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union” says that: “In order to achieve a stable and smooth transition, the Government’s overall approach is to convert the body of existing EU law into domestic law, after which Parliament (and, where appropriate, the devolved legislatures) will be able to decide which elements of that law to keep, amend or repeal once we have left the EU. This ensures that, as a general rule, the same rules and laws will apply after we leave the EU as they did before.”</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 02/02/2018 09:52:39 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

uin	125501
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to securing the best deal for British consumers on UK exit from the EU. Two operators have committed publicly to continue surcharge-free roaming in the EU on UK exit. All mobile operators are in a competitive market. By the day of Exit, UK consumers will have had surcharge-free roaming in the EU and EEA for over two years. This will drive consumer expectation and behaviour. However, the future of the UK's roaming arrangements is inherently a cross-border issue, and is therefore subject to negotiations with the EU.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 02/02/2018 09:54:38 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
