	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>As the Secretary of State said when he addressed the House on 7th September, there is agreement that when we leave the EU, the EEA Agreement will no longer operate in respect of the UK. As such, the Government’s legal position is clear: Article 127 does not need to be triggered for the Agreement to cease to have effect. We are considering what steps, if any, we might need to take to formally confirm our withdrawal from the EEA agreement as a matter of international law.</p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 19/09/2017 14:46:10 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker

After withdrawal, the UK will take back control of its laws. The Repeal Bill will end the supremacy of EU law. Our domestic law will once again be supreme. After we leave the EU, Parliament or, where appropriate, the devolved legislatures, will be free to change the law where they decide it is right to do so.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker grouped question UIN 105328 question first answered 09/10/2017 15:02:21 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

We want to minimise the regulatory and market access barriers for both goods and services in trade with the EU.

In our position paper, the UK provided clear assurance that the CTA can continue to operate in its current form and can do so without compromising in any way Ireland’s ability to honour its obligations as an EU Member State, including in relation to free movement for EEA nationals in Ireland. If the EU wishes, the UK would be content for such an assurance to be reflected in the Withdrawal Agreement. Michel Barnier has confirmed the EU’s commitment towards maintaining the Common Travel Area, and the UK and EU have started drafting common principles.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 12/10/2017 15:00:05 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

As a priority we will seek a bold and ambitious Free Trade Agreement that is of greater scope and ambition than any such existing agreement.</p><p>As we have made clear in our future partnership paper, we believe the UK and EU should continue to consult each other on foreign and security policy issues and agree joint positions, so that we can speak out together and drive progress on areas in our mutual interest. As an example, we should look to coordinate action, and share information, on sanctions policy when needed in order to respond robustly to those who challenge the rules-based international order, as we have recently done effectively in the case of Russia and Iran. We are clear that we want the EU to succeed: a successful EU, with the UK as its closest partner, is in all of our shared interests.</p><p>We want to have the greatest possible tariff- and barrier-free trade with our European neighbours, as well as to negotiate our own trade agreements around the world. We want to ensure that UK companies have the maximum freedom to trade with and operate within European markets – and to let European businesses do the same in the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 19/10/2017 11:04:36 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>The UK has a longstanding tradition of ensuring our rights and liberties are protected domestically and of fulfilling our international human rights obligations. The Charter of Fundamental Rights (the Charter) only applies to Member States when acting within the scope of EU law. The Charter did not create any new rights. Instead it was intended to catalogue the rights that already existed in EU law, and the bill sets out how this underlying law is being converted into UK law at the point we exit the EU. Therefore it is no longer appropriate, nor will it make sense in the context of the UK's exit from the EU, to retain the Charter in UK law.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 09/10/2017 09:20:53 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>As is usual practice, the Government considers the implications of publishing its analysis, including, where appropriate, looking at a range of relevant factors to decide whether it would harm the Government’s negotiating position. The Government respects the role of Parliament in this process and has committed to keeping both Houses informed throughout. However, the Government also takes seriously its commitment not to publish anything that would undermine its negotiating position. Government publications are based on the principle of collective agreement, and therefore the decision to publish Government material is a collective one.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 09/10/2017 16:55:53 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
