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 10/12/2018 answer text <p>On 6 December the Government published the policy paper Citizens’ Rights - EU Citizens in the UK and UK Nationals in the EU setting out the details of our offer to EU citizens in the UK in the unlikely event of a no deal scenario. This confirms EU citizens resident in the UK by 29 March 2019 will be able to work, study, and access benefits and services as now and that. The Home Office will continue to run the EU Settlement Scheme, with no changes to the basis for qualifying under the scheme.</p><p>This demonstrates the UK Government’s ongoing commitment to citizens and removes any ambiguity over their future.</p><p>We are calling for EU Member States to offer the same protections to UK nationals in the EU. Some countries have committed already to do so, and we hope others will do the same shortly. We have instructed our Ambassadors to engage with EU counterparts to urge them to make the same commitment to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU.<strong><br></strong></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 10/12/2018 15:50:37 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

It is therefore not possible to use the UK’s financing share of the whole budget to calculate our contribution to specific EU Agencies.</p><p>As set out in the Political Declaration on the Framework of the Future Relationship between the EU and the UK, we are exploring the possibility of cooperation of United Kingdom authorities with Union agencies such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). We will carry on working with the European Union to see on what basis and under what conditions UK participation can take place. The exact arrangements will be a matter for the next phase of negotiations.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 13/12/2018 13:45:54 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The agreed Protocol guarantees that even in the unlikely event that the UK’s future relationship with the EU is not in place by the end of the implementation period, the UK will have a sovereign choice whether to bring into effect a temporary single UK-EU customs territory or to extend the implementation period for a short period of time until the new economic relationship is in place.</p><p>The single customs territory option replaces the EU’s proposal for a Northern Ireland-only customs ‘backstop to the backstop’ with a UK-wide solution. It would guarantee no tariffs, quotas or rules of origin between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, or between the UK and the EU. As such, the agreed position safeguards the economic and constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom and ensures people and businesses that rely on an open border between the Northern Ireland and Ireland can continue living their lives and operating as they do now.</p><p>Both the UK and the EU are committed to developing alternative arrangements to replace the backstop.The Political Declaration is clear that this includes looking at how facilitative arrangements and technologies can avoid a hard border. The UK and EU are legally obliged to use their best endeavours to conclude such an agreement by 31 December 2020.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 03/12/2018 16:25:56 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The agreed Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, in the Withdrawal Agreement, guarantees that even in the unlikely event that the UK’s future relationship with the EU is not in place by the end of the Implementation Period, there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.</p><p>The Prime Minister was always clear that there could be no customs border down the Irish Sea, which would see a division of the customs territory of the UK. As a result, the UK proposed a UK-wide customs arrangement, which has been secured in the Withdrawal Agreement. In order for the UK-wide customs arrangement to function, it requires the UK to align with the relevant aspects of the Common Commercial Policy. In this scenario, the UK would be able to negotiate, ratify and sign trade deals, and to bring into effect those elements that do not affect the Protocol - just as the government’s technical paper on this set out in June this year. Both sides have been clear that the backstop is an insurance policy which we do not expect to use, and if needed, is explicitly temporary.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 28/11/2018 15:51:07 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
