<p>Since the Chequers statement, we have published the White Paper on the Future Relationship

£116.5 billion to the UK economy in 2016, representing 6.7% of GVA. Given these characteristics,
the Government's White Paper proposal recognises that for digital sectors it will
be particularly important to have domestic regulatory flexibility, to ensure the UK
can respond nimbly to new technological developments, and be at the forefront of emerging
technologies.</p><p> </p>
