answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The Northern Ireland Protocol guarantees that even in the event that the UK’s future relationship with the EU is not in place by the end of the implementation period, there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland and no splitting of the UK’s customs territory. In so doing, the agreement preserves the economic and constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom, upholds the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, and ensures people and businesses that rely on an open border between Northern Ireland and Ireland can continue living their lives and operating as they do now.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 10/12/2018 15:45:52 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2018 answer text <p>Securing an early agreement to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU and EU citizens in the UK was the first priority for these negotiations. The agreement that we have reached, set out in our Joint Report, will provide these citizens with certainty about their rights going forward and we have agreed a comprehensive deal that works in the best interests of both EU citizens and UK nationals.</p><p>During the first phase of negotiations the UK strove to secure the right of onward movement for UK nationals with status in an EU Member State. However, the European Commission felt that this was an issue that could not be resolved through the first phase of negotiations. This right of onward movement for UK nationals with status in an EU Member State remains an important issue for the UK and the UK is keen to return to it in the next phase of negotiations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 12/01/2018 11:18:46 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
