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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment the Government has made of the implications of the decision of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of S. and Marper vs United Kingdom on the UK's ability to secure a data adequacy agreement with the EU.

Our objective is to ensure unhindered data flows between the EU and the UK once the UK leaves the EU. In doing so we will be considering all the available options that will provide legal certainty for businesses and citizens alike.
