	uin	194188
	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
