	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2018 answer text <p>No. The EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill will only implement the Withdrawal Agreement. However the Bill will only be introduced following Parliament’s approval of the final deal covering both the withdrawal arrangements and the framework for the future relationship.</p><p>As the Prime Minister made clear in her Florence speech last year, the EU is not “legally able to conclude an agreement with the UK as an external partner while it is itself still part of the European Union”. Therefore, the Government will introduce further separate legislation where it is needed to implement the future relationship into UK law, ensuring Parliament is fully involved.</p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 17/10/2018 09:31:07 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman
