uin	HL12188
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government has been clear that freedom of movement will end when the UK leaves the EU. In future, it will be for the UK Government and Parliament to determine the domestic immigration rules that will apply. The White Paper The UK’s future skills-based immigration system sets out the foundation for a single immigration system, where it is workers’ skills that matter, not where they come from. In line with the Migration Advisory Committee’s recommendation, we will focus on the highly skilled, and prioritise those migrants who bring most benefit to the UK to maximise the benefits of immigration. This represents a sensible, balanced package which will support the economy and enable us to take control of immigration.The Home Office is launching a year-long engagement process to enable businesses and other stakeholders to shape the details of policy and processes.</p><p>Recognising the depth of the UK-EU relationship, the UK has made a sovereign choice to seek reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU in a defined number of areas, for example to allow business professionals to move to provide services, or tourists to continue to travel visa-free. This is reflected in the political declaration on our future relationship and the detail will be discussed in the next phase of negotiations. Our future immigration system will be flexible to incorporate any mobility arrangements from trade deals we do around the world, including with the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 07/01/2019 16:56:00 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>Following productive discussions with the EU, a clear vision for the UK’s future relationship with the EU has been set out in the recent Political Declaration. This included an agreement that both parties will establish general principles, terms and conditions for the UK’s participation in future EU programmes in areas of shared interest, including in areas such as science and innovation, culture and education. The next generation of EU programmes are currently under negotiation in the EU. The Government will decide whether to participate in specific programmes in light of these negotiations and wider UK priorities.</p><p>Furthermore, under the terms of the proposed Withdrawal Agreement, UK entities' right to participate in EU programmes during the current Multiannual Financial Framework period, such as Horizon 2020 and Creative Europe, will be unaffected by the UK's withdrawal from the EU for the lifetime of projects financed by the current MFF. According to the Withdrawal Agreement, UK based organisations and individuals will be able to bid for funding, participate in and lead consortia, until programme closure.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 20/12/2018 15:41:37 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>As article 129(1) of the Withdrawal Agreement makes clear, the UK will continue to be bound by obligations arising from our international agreements during the implementation period. We have agreed with the EU that they will notify treaty partners that the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of its international agreements with third countries during this period. The notification is intended to cover international agreements as defined in the Withdrawal Agreement - international agreements concluded by the Union, by Member States acting on its behalf, or by the Union and its Member States acting jointly.</p><p>In accordance with the principle of sincere cooperation, the UK has committed during the implementation period, to refrain from any action or initiative which is likely to be prejudicial to the Union’s interests. In particular in the framework of any international organisation, agency, conference or forum of which the UK is a party in its own right. This will not prevent the UK from negotiating, signing and ratifying new international agreements to come into force after the Implementation Period, even where the subject matter of those agreements would ordinarily be within the exclusive competence of the Union.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 21/12/2018 08:58:39 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
