question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether the fundamental right to health, and the legal obligation to ensure a high level of human protection, as set out in the EU treaties, will be incorporated into UK law as part of the Great Repeal Bill.
tabling member constituency	Brighton, Pavilion
tabling member printed	Caroline Lucas
uin	71297
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2017 answer text <p>The EU Right to Healthcare is a principle for the development of EU law. It did not create new rights to health care above and beyond what is already provided under national laws and practices. The UK's commitment to universal healthcare, free at the point of delivery, goes well beyond minimum EU requirements.</p><p>The Great Repeal Bill will ensure that there is maximum possible certainty as to the rights and obligations in our law upon leaving the EU. And it will allow for a smooth and orderly exit that provides a secure basis for future changes to our domestic law.</p><p>The Bill will ensure that, wherever possible, the same rules and laws apply on the day after we leave the EU as they did before. This means that the Bill will convert directly-applicable EU law into UK law; it will preserve all the laws we have made in the UK to implement our EU obligations, as well as the rights in the EU treaties that can be relied on directly in court by an individual.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 24/04/2017 16:52:38 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

tabling member constituency	Brighton, Pavilion
tabling member printed	Caroline Lucas
uin	71361
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2017 answer text <p>The Government’s approach is that the Great Repeal Bill will convert current EU law into domestic law wherever practicable, ensuring a functioning statute book on exit. It is essential that there is a common understanding of what the law means. The Government believes that this is best achieved by providing for continuity in how that law is interpreted before and after exit day. That includes interpretation in light of the general principles of EU law, such as fundamental rights, proportionality and legal certainty.</p><p>After we leave the EU, Parliament will be free to change the law where it decides it is right to do so. The terms of the UK’s future relationship with the EU will be a matter for negotiations.<br><br></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 24/04/2017 13:47:17 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
