This broadly means equal access for workers and the self-employed and limited access for those not working. If these individuals go on to acquire settled status, they will then be able to access benefits on the same terms as comparable UK nationals.</p><p>Legal aid will continue to be available to all that meet the required criteria under the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) and who require legal services that are within scope of LASPO.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 12/12/2018 16:23:51 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>The annexes to the Protocol set out the small fraction of EU rules that would apply in the event that the backstop was in effect - though as we have been clear, we fully expect alternative arrangements to be in place to avoid the need for its use by the end of 2020.</p><p>In that scenario, the only EU rules that apply would be the fraction strictly necessary to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland and give frictionless access to the EU market for all goods from Northern Ireland’s businesses. That includes, as we have set out in the explainer to the Agreement and other accompanying documents, product standards on industrial goods and agricultural goods. But the net effect in a backstop would be significantly increased powers and flexibility for a restored Northern Ireland Assembly and for Parliament. For example, the Protocol is clear that in the case of non-harmonised goods (such as clothing), the placing of goods on the market would be a matter for the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 12/12/2018 16:22:25 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
