uin	HL12353
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK government’s White Paper, ‘The Future Relationship Between the United Kingdom and the European Union’ set out an ambitious future relationship with the EU on data protection that builds on standard EU adequacy arrangements to provide for ongoing regulatory cooperation between the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the EU Data Protection Authorities that make up the European Data Protection Board (EDPB).

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the UK will retain regulatory alignment with the EU on data protection after the UK has left the EU.
tabling member printed	Lord Goodlad
uin	HL12354
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK and the EU start from a position of regulatory alignment on data protection. The UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 updated the UK’s rules in accordance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and transposed the Law Enforcement Directive, ensuring our data protection laws will be aligned with those of the EU at our point of exit.</p><p> </p><p>The GDPR is direct EU legislation that will form part of UK domestic law under the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) from Exit Day. We will use powers under the EUWA to correct deficiencies which result from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU to ensure that the UK’s legal framework for data protection continues to function correctly after exit day. In practice, this is largely a technical exercise, making changes which “domesticate” EU text, e.g. amending ‘Union law’ to read ‘domestic law’, or replacing ‘Member State’ with ‘the UK’, and repatriating powers from EU institutions to UK government.</p><p> </p><p>In the future, as an independent country outside of the EU, the UK will be able to make changes to its own national data protection framework. The UK is and will continue to be a global leader in strong data protection standards.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 21/12/2018 13:57:13 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
