	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>Our objective has always been to have a functioning statute book in place by Exit Day and to ensure that the most critical secondary legislation was made by this point.</p><p> </p><p>The laying date for each SI was carefully considered on a case-by-case basis. SIs which we deprioritised were done so because they made very minor technical changes which we did not consider essential to be in force for exit day, and where there would be very little or no material impact from them not being in place for ‘day 1’.</p><p> </p><p>These considerations and assessments have meant that the Department has been able to lay the critical secondary legislation required before we exit the EU.</p><p> </p><p>The laying of EU Exit SIs allows Parliament to fulfil its essential scrutiny role. The exact nature of this scrutiny, and the steps required before an SI completes its passage, is dependent on the type of SI.</p><p> </p><p>The Government remains confident of passing the necessary legislation required to ensure a functioning statute book by exit day.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 11/04/2019 09:15:19 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

There will also have been some costs incurred by Kent Police and Kent County Council associated with their staff attending the trial. These and other costs for, if necessary, using Manston to hold HGVs are considered appropriate against the very high economic and traffic congestion associated with closing the M20 if we could not use Manston.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 15/01/2019 16:42:26 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
