	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>A new Independent Monitoring Authority will monitor how the Citizens’ Rights provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement are implemented and applied in the UK, helping to provide certainty to EU citizens in the UK. Its powers will have effect from the end of the implementation period. The Withdrawal Agreement and Implementation Bill, which will implement the final Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union, will make provision for the establishment of this independent monitoring authority.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We will come forward in due course with more details about the shape of this new authority, but we are clear that it will need to receive complaints from EU citizens and their family members; conduct its own inquiries into alleged breaches of Part Two of the Agreement by administrative bodies; and institute legal proceedings to seek an adequate remedy. The IMA will publish an annual report to the specialised Committee for Citizens’ Rights, (sitting under the Joint Committee governing the Withdrawal Agreement).</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 16/07/2018 11:36:25 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The UK has made clear both in public and during discussions with the EEA EFTA states that we will be leaving the European Economic Area (EEA). Continued participation in the EEA Agreement beyond the implementation period would not pass the tests that the Prime Minister set out for our future economic partnership with the EU in that it would not deliver control of our borders or our laws.</p><p>In the absence of any further action, the EEA Agreement will no longer operate in respect of the UK when we leave the EU in March 2019.</p><p>However, at the March European Council we agreed with the EU that the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements for the duration of the implementation period; this includes the EEA Agreement.</p><p>Once the implementation period ends, the EEA Agreement will no longer apply to the UK. We will seek to put in place new arrangements with these countries for the end of the implementation period.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 16/07/2018 12:07:12 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether under the proposals agreed by the Cabinet at Chequers on 6 July the Government’s proposed backstop for Northern Ireland will be permanent or time limited.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The proposals agreed by the Cabinet at Chequers on 6 July for the UK's future relationship with the EU, and if agreed to in negotiations, would ensure that the backstop solution as part of the Withdrawal Agreement would not need to be brought into effect. It has always been the UK Government’s intention to address our commitments on the Irish border through the future relationship and these proposals show how we can do so.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 16/07/2018 11:09:16 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	tabling member printed	Baroness Deech
	uin	HL9131
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The report shows a misunderstanding of the Northern Ireland and Ireland context and proposes a fundamental redesign of the Common Travel Area (CTA), which neither the UK, Ireland or the EU have ever envisaged.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst there are some parallels with the work we are developing on the wider UK-EU border model that would apply, for example, to the border between Dover and Calais, this report proposes a form of hard border, albeit an efficiently managed one, for the Northern Ireland-Ireland land border and is therefore fundamentally inconsistent with Government policy and the commitments we have made.</p><p> </p><p>It is unacceptable to suggest any solutions which would require physical infrastructure at the border. Both the UK Government and Irish Government have explicitly ruled this out, as the removal of physical checks and security installations has been a key dividend of the peace process.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 16/07/2018 12:07:44 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
