answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s White Paper on the Future Relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union is clear that free movement of people, as defined in European law, will end as the UK leaves the EU. The UK’s future immigration arrangements will set out how those from the EU and elsewhere can apply to come and work in the UK. The UK will want to continue to attract the brightest and the best, to support our public services and enhance the UK’s attractiveness for research, development and innovation. The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) report, due in September 2018, will provide important evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy to inform this.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The UK will also make a sovereign choice in a defined number of areas to seek reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU, building on current World Trade Organisation (WTO) General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) commitments. Trade agreements that exist globally covering trade in services include provisions on the mobility of people for the provision of services (known as ‘Mode 4’ commitments). These provisions enable businesses to provide services and to move their talented people, for example as an intra-corporate transfer. The exact scope and definition of such provisions in any future agreement between the UK and EU will be a matter for negotiation.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 20/07/2018 15:00:03 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises that there are specific consumer measures that are associated with the Digital Single Market. The White Paper proposes new arrangements for services and digital sectors, recognising that the UK and the EU will not have current levels of access to each other’s markets.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>That approach would not preclude discussions with the EU on arrangements for consumers, for example in the area of mobile roaming, if that would be in the mutual interests of both sides.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 19/07/2018 15:41:12 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to chapter 1 paragraph 108 of the White Paper, The future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, Cm9593, whether the retention of a common rulebook on state aid will prevent the UK public sector adopting procurement rules that give preferential treatment to UK-manufactured vehicles.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2018 answer text <p>State aid and public procurement are separate issues. The state aid rules only touch on state support which has not been given on commercial terms. On the other hand, public procurement should be an entirely commercial process.</p><p> </p><p>The UK will remain committed to the principles of non-discrimination, equal treatment and transparency, as provided for in the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) and the Global Declaration Against Corruption.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has a longstanding policy of value for money, through fair and open competition, in public procurement. In line with our current international (not just EU) obligations, our contracting authorities are required to treat suppliers from various other countries on an equal footing with UK suppliers.</p><p> </p><p>This is a two-way street as it gives our suppliers access to public procurement markets overseas. This allows us to maximise value for money for the UK taxpayer, whilst ensuring that UK companies are able to compete abroad.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 19/07/2018 15:12:48 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>We fully recognise the importance of the UK’s machinery sector. The Government’s objective remains to secure trade with Europe that is tariff-free and as frictionless as possible in all sectors, including in heavy machinery. We will pursue an ambitious and comprehensive free trade agreement with the EU to achieve this. This includes zero tariffs on trade in goods and minimising the regulatory and market access barriers for both goods and services.</p><p>We will need to build a bridge from our exit to our future partnership, to allow business time to adjust, and to allow new systems to be put in place. Therefore we are proposing a time-limited implementation period where we continue to have access to one another’s markets on current terms. We expect this to last for a period of around two years. We are pressing to agree this as early as possible, so as to provide certainty but will of course be subject to ongoing negotiations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 17/10/2017 14:33:57 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
