	answer	answer answer text <p>To date HM Treasury and HMRC have laid 54 and 48 EU Exit Statutory Instruments (SIs), and both departments are confident of delivering essential legislation in time for Exit day. 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>Across the two departments, a small number of SIs will come into force after Exit day; this was planned due to the fact that these SIs make minor technical amendments to earlier EU Exit legislation and were therefore not required to be in place by Exit day.</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>

	answer	answer answer text <p>Pursuant to my answer of [10 April 2018] to Question 241453, the Barnett formula is applied to all changes in the budgets of UK Government departments rather than to specific areas of spending. It is not therefore possible to say how much funding the devolved administrations received in relation to departmental spending on regional aid in England.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, Barnett consequentials do not arise from any spending in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where there is no change to UK Government departmental spending.</p><p> </p><p> </p>EU funding for regional aid expenditure does not attract Barnett consequentials as there are separate arrangements for allocating these funds between departments and the devolved administrations.

UK asset managers that are using the EU “passport” to serve clients in the EEA have undertaken and will continue to carry out contingency plans with respect to their operations in the EEA in order to be ready for a no deal scenario. Some European countries have introduced measures to ensure that UK asset managers will continue to be able to service EEA clients.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has undertaken the necessary work to ensure that we have a stable and functioning domestic framework for asset managers at the point of leaving the EU without a deal. This includes establishing the ‘temporary marketing permissions regime’ which enables EEA funds to continue to be able to market into the UK for up to 3 years. These measures have been welcomed across the UK asset management industry.</p>
