answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2018 answer text <p>In areas where the UK had committed to maintain a common rulebook with the EU, the Joint Committee would need to agree on whether a proposed EU rule change should be incorporated into the agreements, and there would be a process for the UK Parliament to be consulted on this. If the UK and the EU could not agree, the Joint Committee should consider all other possibilities and endeavour to maintain the functioning of the relevant agreement, including the possibility to recognise the equivalence of legislation. If this was not possible after a defined period and an imbalance was created, proportionate and where possible localised rebalancing measures could be proposed, for instance, requesting financial compensation. Where there was no agreement over these measures, or they were not possible, the relevant part of the future relationship could be suspended</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In areas where there is a common rulebook, there could be proportionate implications for the operation of the future relationship from the decisions taken by Parliament about what legislation it chooses to adopt in the future. For instance, if the UK and the EU had agreed to add a rule change to the agreements, and if the UK Parliament decided not to give effect to this change in domestic law, it would be in the knowledge that it would breach the UK's international obligations, and that the EU could raise a dispute and ultimately impose non-compliance measures on the UK. As set out in the White Paper, the type of measures that could be imposed for different sorts of breaches would be technical, but could include financial penalties or suspension of specific obligations.</p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 26/07/2018 13:42:00 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s White Paper on the Future Relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union is clear that free movement of people, as defined in European law, will end as the UK leaves the EU. The UK’s future immigration arrangements will set out how those from the EU and elsewhere can apply to come and work in the UK. The UK will want to continue to attract the brightest and the best, to support our public services and enhance the UK’s attractiveness for research, development and innovation. The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) report, due in September 2018, will provide important evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy to inform this.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The UK will also make a sovereign choice in a defined number of areas to seek reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU, building on current World Trade Organisation (WTO) General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) commitments. Trade agreements that exist globally covering trade in services include provisions on the mobility of people for the provision of services (known as ‘Mode 4’ commitments). These provisions enable businesses to provide services and to move their talented people, for example as an intra-corporate transfer. The exact scope and definition of such provisions in any future agreement between the UK and EU will be a matter for negotiation.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 20/07/2018 15:00:03 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

In line with our current international (not just EU) obligations, our contracting authorities are required to treat suppliers from various other countries on an equal footing with UK suppliers.</p><p> </p><p>This is a two-way street as it gives our suppliers access to public procurement markets overseas. This allows us to maximise value for money for the UK taxpayer, whilst ensuring that UK companies are able to compete abroad.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 19/07/2018 15:12:48 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
