	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Draft Political Declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, published on 22 November, what is the intention of paragraph 40 regarding  "unjustified data localisation requirements"; and what range of subjects may be included under the provisions for "appropriate protection for... geographical indications" in paragraph 45.
	tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
	uin	HL11822
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>The Political Declaration on the future relationship between the EU and the UK says “the Parties should establish provisions to facilitate electronic commerce, address unjustified barriers to trade by electronic means, and ensure an open, secure and trustworthy online environment for businesses and consumers”. This means that the UK and EU agree to work together to address unjustified barriers to the free flow of non-personal data, where they could disrupt businesses, such as rules restricting where data must be stored and processed. As for the ‘appropriate protection for...geographical indications’, the Political Declaration reaffirms that GI’s should be dealt with in the context of our future economic partnership; but it is also true that UK GIs such as Scotch whisky, Welsh lamb and Cornish Pasties will continue to be protected by the EU.</p><p>The detail of how this will apply under the future relationship will be for further negotiation with the EU after our exit in March 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 13/12/2018 15:21:19 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Explainer for the agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union, published on 14 November, on what basis it was determined that (1) Crown Dependencies will be required to pass their own legislation to ensure that the withdrawal agreement is fully implemented, and (2) such legislation will not be required from the devolved legislatures of Wales and Scotland.
	tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
	uin	HL11872
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>It is long-standing constitutional convention that Acts of Parliament do not extend to the Crown Dependencies automatically, as they are not part of the United Kingdom but are self-governing jurisdictions with their own democratically-elected legislative assemblies. They are not represented in this Parliament. Therefore, although the United Kingdom Government is responsible for the Crown Dependencies’ international relations, each of the Crown Dependencies is responsible for passing its own Exit legislation. This includes legislation which may be required to implement the Withdrawal Agreement in their jurisdictions. As the Prime Minister has made clear, the longstanding constitutional relationships between the UK and the Crown Dependencies will not change as a result of the UK’s decision to leave the EU.</p><p>For the UK, the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill will implement our international commitments - set out in the Withdrawal Agreement - into UK law. We will seek the consent of the devolved legislatures where provisions of the Bill engage the conventions and practices under which the UK Government will normally seek legislative consent.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 13/12/2018 13:17:40 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

The Bill will implement our international commitments - set out in the Withdrawal Agreement - into UK law. Certain provisions of the Bill are likely to engage the conventions and practices under which the UK Government will normally seek the legislative consent of the devolved legislatures. Although the Bill is still developing, we will seek legislative consent for those provisions in the Bill if they engage these conventions and related practices.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 04/12/2018 14:04:15 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
