Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Cormack (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 16 November 2017 on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.


Brexit: Data Transfer

Question

My Lords, before we get into too tetchy an argument, and further to what my noble friend Lord Forsyth said a few moments ago, would my noble friend acknowledge that to state the facts and to question how we are tackling the European negotiations is not to be unpatriotic?

Answer

I am very happy to agree with my noble friend that of course questioning matters of policy, tabling amendments and debating the important legislation that is going through this House and another place is not unpatriotic. It is a duty of parliamentarians.
