Data Protection

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what differences will apply to the UK's level of access to information from the EU Visa Information Service (VIS) when it is operational, and the level of access accorded to countries to which the VIS regulations apply; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

The VIS Regulation is still under negotiation in EU Council Working Groups and the European Parliament. The manner of access by the UK is yet to be determined; it is therefore not possible to estimate costs at this stage.
