No plans' to ban Tik Tok in the UK - Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones.
Earlier BBC spoke to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones.
He has also appeared on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, where he was asked if the UK could follow in America's footsteps with a TikTok ban.
"We always keep all of these technology issues under consideration, whether it's for national security or data privacy concerns," Mr Jones said.
"We have laws in place and processes to do that. We have no plans right now to ban TikTok from the UK.
"So, we won't be following the same path that the Americans have followed unless or until at some point in the future there is a threat that we are concerned about in the British interest."
At that point, Mr Jones suggested, a review could be carried out.
He added: "On government devices, for example, we've not been allowed to use TikTok for many years, the last Conservative government took the same position because there's sensitive information on those devices.
"But for consumers who want to post videos of their cats or dancing, that doesn't seem like a national security threat to me."
