There will also have been some costs incurred by Kent Police and Kent County Council associated with their staff attending the trial. These and other costs for, if necessary, using Manston to hold HGVs are considered appropriate against the very high economic and traffic congestion associated with closing the M20 if we could not use Manston.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 15/01/2019 16:42:26 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>Government Departments continue to engage with a wide range of businesses to understand their priorities and issues as we leave the European Union, both to inform our negotiating position, and our preparations in the unlikely event of there being no deal.</p><p> </p><p>Departments can make use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when structuring their engagements on preparations for leaving the EU, which is a crucial component of planning. It is for departments to determine the manner in which engagement with stakeholders takes place. Given the sensitive nature of some discussions, there may be limited circumstances in which departments have used NDAs to enable those conversations, thereby reaching more stakeholders than would otherwise be the case.</p><p> </p><p>NDAs are also a common component of contractual arrangements that are used to protect commercial considerations of the parties involved or to protect sensitives around the development of Government policy.</p><p> </p><p>It is entirely normal practice to use such agreements and they are therefore sometimes necessary for Government departments who are responsible for managing their preparations for leaving the EU.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 15/01/2019 14:41:37 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
