answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>Government departments 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>As I said in my previous answer, this department has put a limited number of NDAs in place in the course of its work. The department’s use of NDAs is limited to standard contractual arrangements with those providing services to support our work and are necessary to protect commercial considerations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 12/11/2018 16:43:39 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>As set out in the White Paper the UK proposes a UK-EU free trade area for goods, to ensure continued frictionless access at the border to each other’s markets, with no tariffs, underpinned by an upfront commitment to a common rulebook on goods, including agri-food and a Facilitated Customs Arrangement to avoid customs checks and controls at our borders.</p><p>However, in the unlikely event of a no deal scenario, trade with the EU will be on non-preferential, WTO terms. This means that most favoured nation (MFN) tariffs would apply to consignments between the UK and EU.</p><p>The EU MFN rates are set out in the EU's Common Customs Tariff (CCT). The EU may change these rates between now and March 2019, but this provides an indication.</p><p>The UK will apply its MFN rates to goods imported into the UK from the EU. The government will determine and publish these new UK duty rates before we leave the EU. They may be different from the rates in the EU’s CCT.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 15/11/2018 15:01:36 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>Citizens’ rights has been our first priority since the very beginning of this process.</p><p>In December 2017, we reached a fair and reciprocal agreement with the EU on the rights of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU, and this is set out in the draft Withdrawal Agreement. The agreement confirms that any UK national resident in the EU by December 2020 will be able to stay in their Member State of residence and will provide citizens more certainty about healthcare, pensions and other benefits.</p><p>While the Government is preparing for a range of scenarios, including the unlikely event that we reach March 2019 without agreeing a deal, the Prime Minister stated to EU citizens on 21 September “I want to be clear with you that even in the event of no deal your rights will be protected. You are our friends, our neighbours, our colleagues. We want you to stay.”</p><p>We welcome the reassurances from a number of Member States that they will protect the interests of UK nationals living in their Member States in the unlikely event of a ‘no deal’ scenario and are urging the remaining Member States counterparts to do the same.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 08/11/2018 16:27:26 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

uin	185603
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The original proposals put forward by the EU are ones we cannot accept. It would mean creating a customs border down the Irish sea and breaking the integrity of the UK. The proposals we have put forward for our future economic relationship would allow both sides to meet our commitments to the people of Northern Ireland in full. We are working hard to get a deal on that basis. While we remain committed to resolving the Northern Ireland border through our overall economic relationship, the backstop is a critical issue, and we stand by all our commitments including the safeguarding of the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 05/11/2018 14:26:02 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
