To this end, we have introduced the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to ensure that UK law continues to work after the UK leaves the EU, whatever the outcome of negotiations. It does this by transferring EU law into UK law, preserving the effect of existing law where possible and appropriate.</p><p>The Directive on the Legal Protection of Computer Programs, including its provisions on the resale of software, has already been implemented into UK law and will therefore be retained in UK law after the UK leaves the EU, subject to any amendments necessary to ensure it functions appropriately once the UK has withdrawn from the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 08/11/2018 16:12:26 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>The government does not want or expect a no deal outcome. In any scenario, the government’s objective is to ensure that movement through ports is as frictionless as possible.</p><p>In the unlikely event we do not reach an agreement with the EU, HMRC will continue to apply an automated, risk-based approach to customs checks. This means any increase in the number of checks will be kept to a minimum. For passengers travelling to the UK from Calais, Border Force will continue to carry out security and identity checks on 100 per cent of passengers. While the EU may choose to impose third country controls it is not clear how soon these would come into effect.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 08/11/2018 13:21:33 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
