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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>The Department has assessed the potential impacts of changes in freight traffic and border processes on queues at Portsmouth International Port (PIP) in the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal. This assessment uses hourly freight traffic arrivals data into the port, therefore accounting for peaks and troughs in HGV arrivals over the week. Queuing from the port can currently happen during peak periods of normal operation. However, as a result of potential increased freight arrivals and limited throughput capacity at the freight entry to the port, we project that up to sixty HGVs could be queuing to enter the port at peak times in a worst case scenario. Although this would impact on the M275, we expect these queues to dissipate as arrival rates drop off beyond peak hours.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling grouped question UIN 234270 234271 question first answered 26/03/2019 13:56:48 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

Whilst our primary focus has been on freight volumes, as this is where we expect the risk of disruption to be greatest, the LRF have shared modelling with us which covers all traffic volumes, and we have been drawing on this when engaging with them on their proposed mitigations for dealing with potential traffic disruption.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 26/03/2019 14:37:11 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2019 answer text <p>The UK and EU have both put in place measures to ensure that flights can continue in any EU Exit scenario. In a no deal scenario, the EU’s adopted Regulation on connectivity gives UK airlines the right to fly to and from the EU from the day of exit until March 2020, allowing time to progress longer-term arrangements. The UK has stated we will reciprocate these rights for EU airlines. Both sides are committed to maintaining connectivity.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 18/07/2019 15:48:19 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
