Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of the new Law Enforcement Data Service on the prospects for securing a data adequacy agreement when the UK leaves the EU.
The Law Enforcement Data Service is being designed in line with the UK's Data Protection Act 2018.
The Act already meets, and in a number of areas exceeds, European data protection standards, which we believe will put us in a good position for negotiations with the EU on continued data flows after the UK leaves the EU.
