tabling member constituency	Leicester East
tabling member printed	Keith Vaz
uin	203244
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2019 answer text <p>At the end of the implementation period, the jurisdiction of the CJEU will end. The Withdrawal Agreement ensures that the UK’s membership of the EU, and the CJEU’s jurisdiction in the UK, is wound down in a sensible and orderly way. In keeping with this, and in the interests of ensuring citizens’ rights are interpreted consistently, the UK has agreed that a very narrow group of issues will be able to be referred to the CJEU for an interpretation, having due regard to whether relevant case law already exists.</p><p>For questions that relate to the settled status of EU citizens, UK courts will be able to refer questions of interpretation to the CJEU eight years from exit day, because settled status applications will be made from exit day. They will be able to refer questions that relate to other aspects of the citizens’ rights part of the agreement for eight years from the end of the implementation period, as those other aspects will only apply from the end of the implementation period.</p><p>In practical terms, this is a very limited role: our courts currently only refer two or three of this kind of case to the CJEU every year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 08/01/2019 11:22:52 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

I am confident that we will have a deal the House of Commons can support.</p><p>As the Prime Minister set out on 4 December, the Government will then consult more widely and engage more intensively with Parliament as we finalise the mandate for the next phase of the negotiations.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 28/12/2018 13:09:11 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

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 21/12/2018 answer text <p>We value our international agreements and want to continue to cooperate in key global issues such as air services, trade, climate change, international development and nuclear cooperation. We have agreed with the EU that they will notify treaty partners that, during the implementation period, the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of its international agreements. This approach provides a basis for continuity across all relevant agreements.</p><p>A number of third countries (including Canada, Chile, Israel, Switzerland, South Africa, and Singapore) have welcomed the focus on delivering continuity into the implementation period. Countries are understandably waiting for the notification to be issued by the EU before they are able to confirm their clear agreement, and we are continuing to engage with them.</p><p>We are also engaging with our international partners in order to put in place arrangements that will come into force following the implementation period, and are making good progress with this work.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 21/12/2018 08:59:53 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>Brexit related cases are ongoing and handled by a range of departments across Whitehall depending on the subject matter relating in part or in total to Brexit. The Government Legal Department (and the Office of the Advocate General for matters in Scotland) is responsible for billing departments as clients for litigation services. DExEU does not therefore hold an estimate of the totality of the costs associated with Brexit related cases across Government.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 13/12/2018 13:14:55 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
