Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the policy paper, The exchange and protection of personal data: a future partnership paper, published on 24 August 2017, what economic assessment has been made of the effect on UK firms and consumers of negotiations with the EU failing to provide a UK-EU model for exchanging and protecting personal data.

I refer the Hon member to the responses I gave in the Chamber during the Leaving the EU: Data Protection debate on Thursday 12 October.
