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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to enact new primary legislation to ensure that the UK is in the best position to maintain international data flows with the EU, following the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

As part of plans for the UK’s exit from the EU, we will consider carefully how best to maintain our continued ability to share, receive and protect EU data with other EU member states. The UK is keen to ensure that data flows with the EU are not interrupted after the UK leaves the EU. The Government is considering all the options on the most beneficial way of ensuring that the UK’s data protection regime continues to build a culture of data confidence and trust, that safeguards citizens and supports business in a global economy.
