Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to the policy paper, The exchange and protection of personal data: a future partnership paper, published on 24 August 2017, whether it is his policy to refrain from entering any UK-EU model for exchanging and protecting personal data if the framework requires oversight from the European Court of Justice.

As we leave the EU, we will bring an end to the direct jurisdiction of the CJEU. Of course the CJEU will continue to interpret EU law and to be the ultimate arbiter of EU law within the European Union, just as our domestic courts will interpret UK law and the UK Supreme Court will be the highest court in the UK. We will respect the internal judicial processes of the EU just as we respect the internal judicial processes of our other international partners.

As stated in the future partnership paper, The exchange and protection of personal data, the UK starts from an unprecedented point of alignment with the EU and wants to explore a UK-EU model for exchanging and protecting personal data.
