As such, we commissioned an independent panel, led by Jason Furman to report on the state of competition in digital markets. In its report, published on 13 March, the Panel makes recommendations for changes to the UK’s competition framework in order to face the economic challenges posed by digital markets, in the UK and internationally. Their report includes a bold set of pro-competition measures to open up digital markets, including measures to improve data openness and data mobility. Government is reviewing these recommendations and will issue a response shortly.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 26/03/2019 15:15:05 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

The UK and the EU agree that the continued free flow of personal data is an important underpinning feature of our future relationship for both economic and security purposes. As set out in the Political Declaration, the EU will begin its assessment of the UK as soon as possible after the United Kingdom's withdrawal, endeavouring to adopt Adequacy Decisions by the end of December 2020. It also confirmed the objective of agreement on appropriate regulatory cooperation. The UK is ready to begin those adequacy assessments now. In the same time frame, the UK will take steps to ensure the flow of personal data to the EU.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In a No Deal scenario, we will continue to make the case to the European Commission to start the adequacy assessments as soon as possible to provide the earliest possible reassurance that data flows can continue.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 11/03/2019 15:09:17 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL13876
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>We are working with the tourism and hospitality sector to ensure it remains globally competitive.</p><p> </p><p>Whether the UK leaves with a deal or not, the UK and the EU have proposed reciprocal visa-free travel arrangements to enable UK and EU citizens to continue to travel freely for tourism in the future. The Government has also confirmed that EU nationals can continue to travel on a national ID card until December 2020 and use e-gates when travelling on a passport. The Home Office has also announced that the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and South Korea will be added to the list of countries whose nationals will be eligible to use ePassport gates to enter the UK from Summer 2019.</p><p> </p><p>For those visitors who need a visa, the UK Visas and Immigration service (UKVI) aims to deliver a world-class customer experience that is competitive, flexible and accessible. UKVI have a number of projects underway that will deliver significant customer service improvements this year.</p><p> </p><p>In terms of access to labour, the Government has confirmed that in a no deal scenario EU nationals can work or study in the UK for up to three months and those who wish to stay longer will need to apply to the Home Office for leave to remain within three months of arrival. Subject to identity, criminality and security checks, leave to remain will be granted for 36 months which will include permission to work and study. Those who wish to stay longer-term will need to apply in due course under the future immigration system. We will continue to engage with the tourism sector through the Tourism Industry Council on the proposed future immigration system from 2021.</p><p> </p><p>The proposed tourism sector deal, which is in formal negotiations, has a strong focus on competitiveness through boosting connectivity (both transport connections and digital connectivity) and working with destinations to build quality tourism products that meet visitors needs and expectations. A key focus is also making the sector more attractive to UK nationals through investment in skills, career development and retention policies.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 04/03/2019 14:55:35 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
