	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>The agreed Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, in the Withdrawal Agreement, guarantees that even in the 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. The Withdrawal Agreement provides for a single customs territory between the UK and the EU. This ensures that Northern Ireland remains in the same customs territory as Great Britain, while meeting our commitments to the people of Northern Ireland to ensure no hard border on the island of Ireland. 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>The Political Declaration is clear that there will be an economic partnership between the UK and the EU with no tariffs or quotas, with ambitious customs arrangements that build and improve on the Withdrawal Agreement. In building and improving on the arrangements in the Withdrawal Agreement, the Political Declaration is clear that the UK and EU will act in line with the objectives and principles of the agreement, including the development of an independent UK trade policy beyond the economic partnership with the EU.</p><p>Preparatory organisational work for the formal negotiations on the future relationship will begin as soon as the Withdrawal Agreement is concluded, and before the UK leaves the EU, focusing on key issues such as the development of alternative arrangements for ensuring the absence of a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland on a permanent footing.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 11/12/2018 11:23:06 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

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
