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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she plans for the UK to adopt the new European Electronic Communications Code after it is finalised in 2018.

Until we have left the EU, the UK will remain a member of the EU with all of the rights and obligations that membership entails, including transposition of all new EU legislation with a transposition deadline prior to Brexit. The UK is therefore fully participating in the re-negotiation of the European Electronic Communications Code to secure a good outcome for UK business and consumers.
