question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to the Government's paper entitled, Implications for Business and Trade of a No Deal Exit on 29 March 2019, what estimate he has made of the number of SMEs that would become financially distressed as a result of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2019 answer text <p>We have been clear that leaving the EU with a deal remains the Government’s top priority. The paper ‘Implications for Business and Trade of a No Deal Exit on 29 March 2019’ explains that leaving the European Union without a deal on 29 March 2019 would have a variety of effects on business, trade and the economy, and despite government mitigation, the impact of a 'no deal' scenario is expected to be significant in a number of areas. As a Government, we do not want ‘no deal’, however it is only prudent that we ensure businesses are as prepared as possible for every outcome.</p><p>The priorities and concerns of SMEs are taken seriously by Government. DExEU Ministers have attended the SME Advisory Board, chaired by BEIS. We are providing guidance to business to assist with their preparations, through a public information campaign on the radio, via social media, in print, with out-of-home advertising such as billboards, and we are developing TV advertisements, to ensure that all are aware of our preparations guidance on GOV.UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 08/03/2019 09:55:28 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government has set out a unilateral offer to protect the rights of EU citizens living in the UK in all scenarios, and has been urging all Member States to do the same for UK nationals living in their countries.</p><p>Despite the welcome progress made by some Member States to protect the rights of UK nationals in their countries, there are other areas where the offer to UK nationals falls short, particularly in relation to healthcare. This is why the Government supported the objective of the Costa amendment on the 27 February, as a ring-fenced agreement would achieve our aim of providing certainty to citizens whatever the outcome of negotiations. The Government is now writing to the EU institutions seeking clarity on their position in regards to ring-fencing the citizens’ rights part of the Withdrawal Agreement.</p><p>If a joint UK-EU commitment to ring-fence citizens cannot be achieved, protecting the rights of UK nationals in the EU would, in a no deal, ultimately be a matter for the EU and individual Member States. We are urging them to take all necessary measures to do so. The Foreign Secretary has written to all of his counterparts, and the Government is holding further urgent discussions with Member States to seek assurances on the rights of UK nationals in the EU.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 06/03/2019 10:52:45 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>The Implementation Period - as set out in Part Four of the Withdrawal Agreement - is intended to give businesses and citizens certainty. Without a Withdrawal Agreement, there can be no Implementation Period. That is why we are working with the EU so Parliament can support a deal and the UK can leave the EU in a smooth and orderly way on 29 March 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 04/03/2019 16:20:59 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
