answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2018 answer text <p>In the event of a deal there should be no changes during the implementation period. Telecoms is one of the most liberalised services internationally. The UK benefits from the World Trade Organisation's General Agreement on Trade in Services which makes clear that governments and regulators should not discriminate against telecoms companies of other countries and should ensure fair and equal access to public telecoms networks and services. The UK and the EU are committed to these rules and the government therefore does not anticipate any major changes for UK companies operating in the EU.</p><p> </p><p>In the unlikely event of no deal, the government has published two technical notices on telecoms.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>Most breaches of the GDPR are not criminal offences and would not therefore be subject to criminal prosecution. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) can, however, impose large administrative fines on organisations which fail to comply. The very worst data breaches, including those involving the unlawful obtaining or disclosure of data, may be subject to criminal prosecution under the Data Protection Act 2018. Investigations into offences committed since the Act came into force in May 2018 have not yet reached the prosecution stage.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 27/11/2018 19:17:12 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
