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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill, what plans they have to (a) revoke, (b) replace or (c) retain the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002.

The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill (REUL) is part of the government's commitment to taking the necessary steps to put the UK statute book on a sustainable footing, following our exit from the EU. The Bill will make it easier to amend, repeal or replace REUL, in the best interests of the UK.

We are currently assessing the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 alongside other areas of REUL. The government is committed to supporting digital innovation in the UK.
