Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to negotiate for the UK's continued participation in those aspects of the Rome I Regulation which require a contract between a business and a consumer to be governed by the law of the country where the consumer lives; and if so, whether they will convert the rules set out in Rome I into domestic law by including them in the legislation required to withdraw from the EU.

The Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) has responsibility for overseeing negotiations to leave the EU and establishing the future relationship between the UK and the EU. The Ministry of Justice, which has responsibility for civil law instruments such as the Rome I Regulation, has been working closely with DExEU to consider options for the future relationship between the UK and the EU. We will work to ensure the best outcome for the UK, including its consumers and businesses.
