	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2019 answer text <p>From the very beginning, the Prime Minister has made citizens’ rights our priority for negotiations. The draft Withdrawal Agreement will provide nearly one million UK nationals in the EU with the certainty they need about their rights going forward.</p><p>Under the Withdrawal Agreement, all UK nationals lawfully residing in a Member State at the end of the implementation period will be able to stay, this includes British children being cared for by relatives. It also allows close family members to join after the end of the implementation period on the basis of current EU rules, where the relationship existed before the end of the implementation period.</p><p>Our policy paper, published on 6 December, confirms that EU citizens resident in the UK by exit day will be able to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to secure their status in a no deal scenario. We are urging all Member States to reciprocate our offer in full and to communicate their detailed plans to UK nationals as soon as possible.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 04/04/2019 15:45:37 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>The Withdrawal Agreement protects the rights of those who are frontier workers at the end of the transition period, for as long as they continue to be frontier workers in the host state. The Agreement will ensure that these frontier workers are able to enter and leave the UK for work, enjoying broadly the same rights as they do now, after the end of the implementation period.</p><p>We will also protect the rights of frontier workers in the event of a no deal. Many of this cohort will spend enough time in the UK to qualify for status under the EU Settlement Scheme. Otherwise, they will be able to obtain a separate UK immigration status which will allow them to continue frontier working into the UK after exit.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 26/03/2019 10:15:34 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what estimate he has made of the amount the UK would pay to the EU in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

	uin	231383
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2019 answer text <p>As part of the Withdrawal Agreement, we have reached a fair financial settlement with the EU, honouring commitments we made during our period of membership, and ensuring a fair deal for UK taxpayers. In the event that we leave the EU without a deal, the financial settlement as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement would no longer apply. The Government recognises that the UK has obligations to the EU, and the EU obligations to the UK, that will survive the UK’s withdrawal—and that these need to be resolved. But in a no deal scenario we would need to determine how to do so.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 21/03/2019 17:11:18 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
