question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government why, in its sectoral impact assessments for leaving the EU, the Department for Exiting the EU has not undertaken an impact assessment of the natural environment; and whether it intends to do so.

uin	HL2930
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>As Parliamentary Under Secretary Robin Walker said in his opening remarks to the House on 1st November, the Government has not produced a series of sectoral impact assessments. The Government has produced a wide mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis, contained in a range of documents developed at different times since the referendum. It is constantly evolving and being updated based on our discussions with industry and our negotiations with the EU, but it is not, and nor has it ever been, a series of impact assessments examining the quantitative impact of Brexit on these sectors. The Secretary of State has said that he will provide sector analysis to the Exiting the European Union Committee in an informative and accessible way as soon as is possible.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 20/11/2017 13:50:57 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, in the light of their commitment made in response to a Freedom of Information request by Seema Malhotra in October 2017 to release information in an organised and efficient manner on the scope and terms of reference of their sectoral economic analyses of the impact of leaving the EU, when they intend to release that information.

uin	HL2759
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government is carrying out an ongoing programme of comprehensive analytical work that will inform our negotiating position with the EU to deliver our objective of a deep and special partnership with the EU, and inform our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks.</p><p>On Monday 30 October 2017, the Government published the list of the 58 sectors used to help structure some of our thinking and analysis. The response to Seema Malhotra was that the Government intended to publish that list of sectors, which it has now done. No such commitment was made in that response to releasing the information relating to the scope or terms of reference for the analysis itself.</p><p>Following the opposition day motion of 1 November 2017 regarding the release of Government analysis, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, Robin Walker, was clear that the Government takes very seriously the motion of parliament, and will respond to it. However, it will take the Government some time to collate and bring together this information in a way that is accessible and informative to the EU Select Committee. We will provide this information to the committee as soon as is possible and we have made plain to the house authorities that we currently expect this to be no more than 3 weeks.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 14/11/2017 17:51:04 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the proposed agreement on EU citizens living in the UK will provide certainty about residence and benefits; and if so, how; and whether there will be a qualifying period for payments into the social security system; and if so, how long that period will be.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL2510
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2017 answer text <p>We are within touching distance of reaching political agreement on the citizens' rights aspects of the Withdrawal Agreement, including on residence status and social security. <br><br>The UK Government's position is that to provide certainty on residence, all EU citizens lawfully residing within the UK with five years residence at a specified date, which is no earlier than the trigger of Article 50, and no later than the UK’s exit from the EU, will be able to apply for settled status. Those EU citizens with less than five years lawful residence who arrive before the specified date will be given time to stay until they have the five years of residency necessary to obtain UK settled status.<br><br>For EU citizens in the UK with rights protected under the Withdrawal Agreement, those on the pathway to settled status will continue to be able to access the same benefits that they can access now (broadly, equal access for workers/the self-employed and limited access for those not working). Once they are granted settled status, EU citizens will have access to benefits on the same basis as comparable UK nationals. Following the UK's withdrawal from the EU, access to benefits for those EU citizens protected by the Withdrawal Agreement will mirror any future changes potentially made to UK nationals’ entitlement. This means that an EU citizen protected by the Withdrawal Agreement will be no better or worse off than a UK national and will continue to enjoy equivalent access to benefits.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 09/11/2017 13:31:44 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2017 answer text <p>We have been clear that, once we leave the EU, we will not be required to pay vast contributions to the EU budget. However, as we move forward, we will also want to continue working together in ways that promote the long-term economic development of our continent. This will include continuing to take part in those specific policies and programmes which are greatly to the UK and the EU’s joint advantage, such as those that promote science, education and culture – and those that promote our mutual security.</p><p>As the Prime Minister reaffirmed in her Florence speech, in doing so, we would want to make an ongoing contribution to cover our fair share of the costs involved. We hope to have a full and open discussion with the EU about all of the options for collaboration as part of the negotiations on our future partnership.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 02/11/2017 17:21:52 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
