answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2017 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has firmly committed not to roll back workers’ and consumers’ rights. The Repeal Bill will ensure that those rights that derive from EU law will continue to be available in domestic law, giving certainty and continuity to employees and employers alike, and creating stability in which the UK can grow and thrive. We do not need to be part of the EU, nor bound by EU legislation, to have strong protections for workers.</p><p>The decision to leave the EU means we now have a unique opportunity to design a set of policies to drive environmental improvement, tailored to the needs of our country that has a powerful and permanent impact – ensuring a healthy environment and strong economy – and delivering on our commitment to leave the environment in a better state than we found it.</p><p>We will be seeking a bold and ambitious free trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union. This should be of greater scope and ambition than any such agreement before it so that it covers sectors crucial to our linked economies such as financial services.This will require detailed technical talks, but - as the UK is an existing EU Member State - both sides start with aligned regulatory frameworks and standards.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 03/07/2017 16:06:20 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2017 answer text <p>The Repeal Bill is an essential Bill in the national interest – it will give powers to the devolved administrations that are necessary for preparing their statute books for our exit from the EU. As the Secretary of State has made clear, the Bill will ensure that the decisions that are currently made by the devolved administrations will continue to be made by the devolved administrations. It is the expectation of the Government that the process of repatriating powers from the EU will result in a significant increase in the decision making power of each devolved administration.</p><p>The Bill affects the powers of the devolved institutions and legislates in devolved areas, so we will seek the consent of the devolved legislatures, including the Scottish Parliament, for the Bill. We would like everyone to come together in support of this legislation, which is crucial to delivering the referendum outcome.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 29/06/2017 15:01:48 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Exiting the European Union is undertaking a wide range of analysis of the effect on the economy, in partnership with HM Treasury and other government departments and has been engaging closely with stakeholders. The UK’s decision to leave the EU means there will be a period of adjustment, but the UK economy is resilient. The unemployment rate is at its lowest level in four decades and the employment rate has never been higher. Businesses have continued to show their confidence in the UK, with major investments announced by GlaxoSmithKline, Google and Apple, among others. During our negotiations with the EU we are determined to get the very best deal for households and businesses and will continue to work closely with other government departments and HM Treasury to achieve this.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 30/06/2017 13:59:37 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
