The Government's plan for leaving the EU has been discussed at length, and Parliament will have a say on the final deal we achieve with the European Union by putting that deal to a vote in both Houses before it comes into force. But as Parliament has also agreed, we will not publish anything that would undermine our ability to negotiate the best deal for the UK.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 13/09/2017 11:38:36 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2017 answer text <p>As set out in the Prime Minister's Article 50 letter we want to avoid a return to a hard border between our two countries, and to be able to maintain the Common Travel Area. 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. We welcome the Commission's position paper on Northern Ireland and Ireland, in particular the commitment to avoid any physical infrastructure at the border, agreeing with the UK’s position as published last month. This is an important step forward, and demonstrates the close alignment on the UK’s and EU’s objectives on this issue.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 13/09/2017 13:48:38 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
