unstar this property answer text <p>The Government recognises the legitimate desire in Parliament, from Members on all sides and in both Houses, to understand the legal implications of the final Withdrawal Agreement. The Government will therefore make available to all members of Parliament a full, reasoned position statement, setting out the Government’s agreed legal position on the Agreement, including the Irish backstop proposals. The Attorney will also make a statement to the House of Commons and take questions. This will help to ensure Parliament has all appropriate information ahead of the vote on the final deal.</p><p> </p><p>We expect the Attorney General’s statement to be repeated in the Lords, with questions.</p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>The agreement preserves the economic and constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom, upholds the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, and ensures people and businesses that rely on an open border between the Northern Ireland and Ireland can continue living their lives and operating as they do now. It does so through a temporary single UK-EU customs territory or through an option to extend the implementation period for a short period of time until the new economic relationship is in place.</p><p>The Government is clear the backstop is an insurance policy that no-one ever wants to come into effect. Both the UK and the EU are fully committed to having our future relationship in place by 1st January 2021 and the Withdrawal Agreement has a legal duty on both sides to use best endeavours to avoid the backstop ever coming into force. Despite this, if the future relationship is not ready by the end of 2020, the UK would not be forced to use the backstop. The UK would have a clear choice between the backstop or a short extension to the Implementation Period. If the backstop was entered into, the legal text is clear that it should be temporary and that the Article 50 legal base cannot provide for a permanent relationship. There is also a termination clause, which allows the backstop to be turned off when we have fulfilled our commitments on the Northern Ireland border, and there is a unilateral right to trigger a review through the Joint Committee and the ability to seek independent arbitration if the EU does not use good faith in this process.</p>

unstar this property answer text <p>Negotiations between the UK and EU were ongoing throughout last year. These negotiations involved both officials and Ministers. They included discussions about setting out a legally operative backstop, as part of the Government’s commitment to avoiding a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, and as set out in the December 2017 Joint Report.</p><p>The outcome of those discussions is reflected in the draft Withdrawal Agreement laid before Parliament on 26 November. This guarantees that in the event that the UK’s future relationship with the EU is not in place by the end of the implementation period, there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, while maintaining the economic and constitutional integrity of the UK.</p><p>As the Government has made clear, however, this would be an insurance policy that neither the UK nor the EU expects to use. We fully expect to bring into force our future relationship or alternative arrangements, which would guarantee no hard border on a permanent basis, by the end of the Implementation Period that the Withdrawal Agreement provides.</p><p> </p>
