Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether the operation of the provisions on free flows of data between the UK and Japan under UK-Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement will be conditional on the UK’s negotiation of a corresponding data adequacy agreement with the EU before 1 January 2020.
In response to the Rt Hon. Member’s questions, I refer her to my Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade’s letter of 11 November 2020 on these issues. A copy has been deposited in the House library.
