answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2017 answer text <p>As the Prime Minister made clear, the UK does not seek membership of the EU’s Single Market after we leave the EU, but rather a bold and ambitious FTA as part of a new, deep and special partnership. The deeply integrated nature of trade, both domestically between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, and across the land border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, highlights why the UK is prioritising finding a solution that protects businesses’ ability to access these markets and avoid a return to a hard border.</p><p>In our position paper on Northern Ireland and Ireland we have put forward our key principles for delivering our shared objective for a seamless and frictionless land border. We are committed to working with the EU to find a creative solution that recognises the particular economic, social and cultural context of the land border with Ireland that allows current trade and everyday movements across the border to continue as they do today.</p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 14/09/2017 14:03:15 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker

These discussions will inform our negotiating position.</p><p>Details of Ministerial meetings are published in the Department’s Quarterly Transparency Returns, which are made publicly available on GOV.UK.</p><p>UK projects that are in the process of securing finance from the European Investment Bank (EIB), and its subsidiary the European Investment Fund (EIF), have been affected as the EIB Group undertakes due diligence.</p><p>The Chancellor and senior Treasury officials have been working very closely with EIB Group management to resolve these issues. The UK believes that UK firms should be able to access EIB and EIF funding on equal terms as other Member States while the UK remains a member of the EU, as the Chancellor set out in his Mansion House Speech.</p><p>The government has put in place measures to ensure that UK firms which may no longer be able to access EIB Group finance receive the investment they need.
