answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>The EU has agreed a Regulation which would allow for the continuation of flights between the UK and the EU for a period of 12 months if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. The Government has set out how it will reciprocate and allow flights by EU carriers between the EU and the UK to continue.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Transport (DfT) began laying EU Exit statutory instruments (SIs) in July 2018, almost as soon as the EU (Withdrawal) Act received Royal Assent. DfT is ranked among the top three departments for delivery, having since laid in draft over 30 of our EU Exit SIs. Recognising that we have a significant number to lay, the Department continues to work at pace to ensure delivery, while adhering to the prescribed processes. The laying of the remaining SIs that we consider crucial to be in place for exit day will be spread between now and February.</p><p> </p><p>In relation to services through the Channel Tunnel the Government continues to work closely with a range of partners, including the relevant governments and Eurotunnel, on contingency plans to ensure that trade can continue to move as freely as possible between the UK and Europe, including in the event of no deal.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 12/12/2018 15:25:29 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
