answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>Our objective has always been to have a functioning statute book in place by Exit Day and to ensure that the most critical secondary legislation was made by this point.</p><p> </p><p>The laying date for each SI was carefully considered on a case-by-case basis. SIs which we deprioritised were done so because they made very minor technical changes which we did not consider essential to be in force for exit day, and where there would be very little or no material impact from them not being in place for ‘day 1’.</p><p> </p><p>These considerations and assessments have meant that the Department has been able to lay the critical secondary legislation required before we exit the EU.</p><p> </p><p>The laying of EU Exit SIs allows Parliament to fulfil its essential scrutiny role.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 21 March 2019 to Question 233640, whether the three year settlement agreement and possible project listings with Eurotunnel procures the same vital freight capacity as that procured with DFDS and Brittany Ferries; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2019 answer text <p>The settlement agreement secured the vital freight capacity that Government has purchased from DFDS and Brittany Ferries, and therefore the unhindered supply of medicines for our NHS, by removing a legal risk of the contracts with these companies being declared ineffective by the Court. The agreement itself does not procure additional freight capacity, nor was it ever intended to. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, to ensure value for money, Eurotunnel has agreed that the entirety of the settlement sum will be used on projects to improve security, traffic flow and infrastructure resilience around the Channel tunnel site.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 27/03/2019 13:43:15 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
