answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2017 answer text <p>The UK has a long history of protecting the rights of its citizens, and we intend to continue<br>to protect those rights through our domestic legislation. The Data Protection Bill will set<br>high standards for protecting personal data in accordance with the GDPR. We​ ​will​<br>​continue​ ​to​ ​provide​ ​a​ ​world-class standard​ ​of​ ​data​ ​protection​ ​after we leave the European<br>Union</p><p>The removal of the Charter from UK law should not affect the substantive rights that<br>individuals already benefit from in the UK when their data are processed. The Charter is<br>not the source of rights contained within it, it was intended only to catalogue rights that<br>already existed in EU law. The Government has committed to implementing the GDPR,<br>which affords individuals judicial redress in the event of a data breach.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/10/2017 12:27:04 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>The UK has a longstanding tradition of ensuring our rights and liberties are protected domestically and of fulfilling our international human rights obligations. The Charter of Fundamental Rights (the Charter) only applies to Member States when acting within the scope of EU law. The Charter did not create any new rights. Instead it was intended to catalogue the rights that already existed in EU law, and the bill sets out how this underlying law is being converted into UK law at the point we exit the EU. Therefore it is no longer appropriate, nor will it make sense in the context of the UK's exit from the EU, to retain the Charter in UK law.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 09/10/2017 09:20:53 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
