uin	206329
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 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> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 16/01/2019 15:53:38 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
