answer text <p>Ensuring a well-functioning Gibraltar-Spain border is a key objective for the UK Government. A well-functioning border is also in the interests of the surrounding Spanish region, including the thousands of Spanish workers who cross the border every day. As the Prime Minister said in her statement to the House of Commons on 29 March, we are absolutely steadfast in our support of Gibraltar, its people and its economy.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government has increased certainty for citizens and businesses through the progress we’ve made on citizen’s rights - giving both British citizens in the EU and EU citizens in the UK the greatest possible legal certainty about the future.</p><p>On 17 October, the Secretary of State updated Parliament on the October negotiating round, a statement repeated in the Lords by Baroness Goldie. This made clear that we have reached agreement on the criteria for residence rights, the right to work and to own a business, social security rights, rights for current family members, reciprocal healthcare rights, the rights of frontier workers, and the fact that the process for securing settled status in the UK will be streamlined and low cost.</p><p>We have also made progress in regards to agreeing some of the key joint principles we want to adopt in relation to the issues arising for Northern Ireland and Ireland - in particular on the Common Travel Area and associated rights - a significant step forward.</p><p>Finally, we have provided reassurance to our EU partners in regards to our mutual financial obligations. We have also been undertaking a rigorous examination of technical detail where we need to reach a shared view; this is an important step so that we will be able to reach technical agreement, when the time comes.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>A clear majority of the electorate voted to leave the EU and we will respect the will of the British people. This was reinforced by the fact that in the last general election over eighty percent voted for parties committed to respecting the outcome of the referendum. There can be no attempts to remain inside the EU and no attempt to rejoin it. There is no precedent for a country triggering Article 50, let alone seeking to reverse such a decision. As a matter of firm policy, our notification will not be withdrawn for the simple reason that people voted to leave. And we are determined to see through that instruction.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department for Exiting the European Union, working with officials across Government, is undertaking a wide range of analysis covering the entirety of the UK economy in order to support negotiations. Both parties want to achieve the best possible outcome and the strongest possible partnership for the future - one that works for the UK and for the EU.</p><p>As Parliament has agreed, we will not publish anything that would undermine our ability to negotiate the best deal for the United Kingdom. It is not standard practice to provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work that is being carried out within government.</p><p>We are confident that a future partnership between the UK and EU is in the interests of both sides, so we approach these negotiations anticipating success. We do not want or expect a no deal outcome. However, a responsible government should prepare for all potential outcomes, including the unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached.</p><p> </p>
