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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions his Department has had with the (a) Vice President of the European Commission for the Digital Single Market and (b) the Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society.

DCMS ministers have not yet held meetings with the Vice President of the European Commission for the Digital Single Market or the Commissioner for Digital Economy President. However, the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General met the Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society on 6^th November to discuss, amongst other things, the digital single market. I am also looking to engage with both Commissioners early in the New Year. DCMS officials are also in regular contact with the Commission.
