As the Prime Minister said in her statement to Parliament, we do not want to see Article 50 extended. By far the best way forward is for Parliament to agree to leave with a deal when we bring the Meaningful Vote back. If Article 50 were to be extended, any adjustments to the financial settlement would be subject to future negotiations.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 07/03/2019 15:27:36 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

The Withdrawal Agreement gives the UK audit rights with respect to the implementation of the financial provisions of the withdrawal agreement, including, contingent liabilities. On the UK’s request, the EU will provide these auditors with information and assistance to allow them to assure the implementation of the financial settlement. The application of these rights will be a significant source of assurance for Parliament in respect of payments under the financial settlement.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/01/2019 14:22:52 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
