answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2018 answer text <p>Following our exit from the EU, the UK will no longer be a Member State and will no longer have elected representation in the EU institutions. With regard to the Northern Ireland Protocol to the draft Withdrawal Agreement, the UK has been clear, and has reaffirmed, that we are committed to turning all of the commitments in the December Joint Report into legally binding text in the Withdrawal Agreement. Negotiations are ongoing and the Government has set out our proposed approach on the customs element of the backstop, the Temporary Customs Arrangement. The Government is committed to accelerating discussions on the backstop, alongside intensifying negotiations on the future relationship.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Any negotiated outcomes will need to be compatible with our international obligations under the European Convention of Human Rights.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 19/07/2018 15:41:07 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The report shows a misunderstanding of the Northern Ireland and Ireland context and proposes a fundamental redesign of the Common Travel Area (CTA), which neither the UK, Ireland or the EU have ever envisaged.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst there are some parallels with the work we are developing on the wider UK-EU border model that would apply, for example, to the border between Dover and Calais, this report proposes a form of hard border, albeit an efficiently managed one, for the Northern Ireland-Ireland land border and is therefore fundamentally inconsistent with Government policy and the commitments we have made.</p><p> </p><p>It is unacceptable to suggest any solutions which would require physical infrastructure at the border. Both the UK Government and Irish Government have explicitly ruled this out, as the removal of physical checks and security installations has been a key dividend of the peace process.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 16/07/2018 12:07:44 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2018 answer text <p>As we continue to make progress in negotiations, we are increasingly confident that we will secure a deal with the EU and that the prospect of leaving negotiations with ‘no deal’ has receded significantly. However, as a responsible government we are preparing for all possible outcomes. Departments’ plans are well developed and are designed to respond to all scenarios, including the unlikely possibility that we leave the EU without a deal in place. Some delivery has already become evident, and more will become public over the coming weeks and months.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 03/07/2018 14:51:02 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
