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 20/02/2017 answer text <p>The UK Government's White Paper sets out the basis for the Government's 12 negotiating objectives to build a global UK with a strong new partnership with the EU after our exit. <br><br>The third chapter of this White Paper sets out that as we leave the EU we strengthen the precious union between the four nations of the United Kingdom. To this end we are working to ensure we get the best possible deal for the whole of the UK. <br><br>The Scottish Government set out their position in their Brexit paper just before Christmas and it was formally presented to the Joint Ministerial Committee on EU negotiations in January. The Secretary of State has also met with Michael Russell, Scottish Government Minister on Scotland's Place in Europe, to discuss the report. <br><br>We continue to look closely at their proposals and the evidence underpinning their position - and there are a number of areas where we are in agreement - on ensuring access to the Single Market for goods and services, securing UK nationals' status in the EU, protecting workers rights, and ensuring that Scottish and other British universities should continue to have access to the best of European talent, and research collaboration. But our guiding principle must be to ensure that, as we leave the European Union, no new barriers to living and doing business within our own Union are created.</p><p>The White Paper also sets out that no decisions currently taken by the devolved administrations will be removed from them and we will use the opportunity of bringing decision making back to the UK to ensure that more decisions are devolved.<br><br>We will continue to engage all of the devolved administrations, including the Scottish Government and the Scottish Parliament, throughout the process. At the January plenary session of the Joint Ministerial Committee, ministers agreed to intensify their work ahead of the triggering of Article 50 and to continue at the same pace thereafter.<br><br></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 20/02/2017 12:47:47 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
