answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2018 answer text <p>The Joint Report issued by the UK and EU sets out our plan to address Northern Ireland’s unique circumstances and the border in the context of the wider UK-EU deep and special partnership. We want a deal that works for all parts of the UK. The Joint Report gives a clear commitment to avoiding a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland and retaining the constitutional and economic integrity of the UK. The Prime Minister and the Taoiseach, both agreed that it was their preference to achieve this through the overall future relationship between the UK and the EU.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As set out in our position paper on Northern Ireland and Ireland, the UK Government set out two broad approaches to a future customs relationship with the EU; a highly streamlined customs arrangement between the UK and the EU, streamlining and simplifying requirements, leaving as few additional requirements on UK-EU trade as possible; and a new customs partnership with the EU, aligning our approach to the customs border in a way that removes the need for a UK-EU customs border.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 01/03/2018 14:25:13 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2018 answer text <p>Between July and December 2017, 508 EU proposals and other documents were submitted for scrutiny. <br><br>Across both Houses there were 95 occasions when the Government supported decisions in the EU Council of Ministers before the scrutiny procedures had been completed by either one or both Scrutiny Committees. <br><br>In each case the Government explained to the Scrutiny Committees why it was important for the proposal to be supported before clearance had been provided. This period of reporting coincided with the extended period in the new Parliament before the European Scrutiny Committee in the House of Commons was re-appointed on 30 October 2017 and only began meeting again on 13 November to scrutinise documents. As with previous six-monthly periods, the largest category of instrument was fast-moving and sensitive CFSP and EU restrictive measures where there were 66 such instruments adopted before scrutiny could be completed. <br><br>The figures requested are set out below:<br><br></p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Department</p></td><td><p>(1 &amp; b).

tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL5850
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government has been clear that the aim of the time-limited Implementation Period must be to avoid a disorderly exit from the European Union for individuals and businesses both in the UK and the EU and should therefore provide sufficient time to put new processes and systems in place. As the PM set out in Florence, that points to a duration in the region of two years. This is in line with the Commission’s published position. We remain confident that we will reach agreement by March European Council.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government is undertaking a comprehensive programme of analytical work across a range of scenarios. It is not standard practice to provide a running commentary on ongoing, internal analysis.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 01/03/2018 15:58:19 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
