answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>No decisions have yet been made on our future relationship with the EU's agencies and bodies after leaving the EU. We are considering very carefully a range of options. In most cases we anticipate that repatriated EU functions can be absorbed by existing UK departments and existing public bodies. Prior to any decisions on establishing new UK-level bodies, the Government always looks to minimise disruption and costs, which includes considering alternative options, such as the use of existing public bodies.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 15/04/2019 12:57:44 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>We do not need to be part of the EU to have strong protections or high standards and the UK already goes beyond EU minimum standards in a number of areas. In addition, the government has made a commitment not to reduce the standards of workers’ rights from EU laws retained in UK law and will ensure that new legislation changing those laws will be assessed as to whether they uphold this commitment. Any future changes in relation to rights and protections will be subject to the appropriate parliamentary scrutiny – with Parliament and the electorate continuing to hold the Government to account.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 11/04/2019 12:11:09 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

We are urging all Member States to reciprocate our offer in full and to communicate their detailed plans to UK nationals as soon as possible.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 04/04/2019 15:45:37 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
