answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government and EU have agreed the text of a Withdrawal Agreement which includes provision for a transition or implementation period after we leave the EU. During this period flights will continue as now. We have also agreed a Political Declaration on the broad terms of our future relationship with the EU.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of proposed EU Mobility Package 1 on the (a) posting, (b) driving and (c) rest time of workers in the UK road transport industry.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>The latest proposals in the EU Mobility Package establish a road transport sector-specific regime for the posting of workers. This is intended to provide an enforceable and proportionate set of rules, based on harmonised administrative requirements for drivers and operators and on information exchange between Member State authorities. The Government’s assessment is that this will reduce administrative burdens that can be placed on UK-based drivers operating abroad. It is also proposed to introduce a limited exemption from posting rules for bilateral international operations. UK-based drivers may therefore in some circumstances be exempt from the prevailing local minimum wage rate while working in other Member States, although this would not be expected to entail a change to their contractual entitlement.</p><p> </p><p>The latest proposals in the EU Mobility Package are that the driving and rest time rules would be modified to enable a driver to return to their base at least once every four weeks. In this context, to enable more of a driver’s rest time to be taken at home, it is proposed to enable drivers to take two consecutive reduced weekly rests, provided the reduction is compensated for. The Government considers that these rules would have a very limited effect on UK-based drivers, whose working patterns do not normally entail multiple weeks away from home.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 29/11/2018 11:43:29 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government is undertaking a wide range of ongoing analysis in support of our EU exit negotiations and preparations. Our overall programme of work is comprehensive, thorough and is continuously updated. The Department for Transport is working closely with the sector to ensure that the requirements of the industry are factored into negotiations.</p><p> </p><p>The UK government and European Commission have agreed in principle that the two sides should negotiate a comprehensive air transport agreement. This will ensure that the aviation sector can continue to provide the connectivity that is vital for both the UK and EU. We are focused on securing the right arrangements for the future, so that our aviation industry can continue to thrive and passengers across the UK and the EU continue to have high levels of connectivity and choice at attractive prices. The EU model of liberalisation has enhanced competition which has led to these benefits we see today.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 21/11/2018 10:50:34 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
