answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>The UK has a longstanding tradition of ensuring our rights and liberties are protected domestically and of fulfilling our international human rights obligations. The Charter of Fundamental Rights (the Charter) only applies to Member States when acting within the scope of EU law. The Charter did not create any new rights. Instead it was intended to catalogue the rights that already existed in EU law, and the bill sets out how this underlying law is being converted into UK law at the point we exit the EU. Therefore it is no longer appropriate, nor will it make sense in the context of the UK's exit from the EU, to retain the Charter in UK law.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 09/10/2017 09:20:53 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2017 answer text <p>As set out in our position paper on Northern Ireland and Ireland, the UK Government, Irish Government, and European Union all agree on maintaining the Common Travel Area. In our position paper, the UK provided clear assurance that the CTA can continue to operate in its current form and can do so without compromising in any way Ireland’s ability to honour its obligations as an EU Member State, including in relation to free movement for EEA nationals in Ireland. If the EU wishes, the UK would be content for such an assurance to be reflected in the Withdrawal Agreement. Michel Barnier has confirmed the EU’s commitment towards maintaining the Common Travel Area, and the UK and EU have started drafting common principles.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 12/10/2017 15:00:05 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

As the Prime Minister set out in the White paper &quot;The United Kingdom’s Exit from and new partnership with the European Union&quot;, this will mean fostering a high quality, stable and predictable regulatory environment.

After withdrawal, the UK will take back control of its laws. The Repeal Bill will end the supremacy of EU law. Our domestic law will once again be supreme. After we leave the EU, Parliament or, where appropriate, the devolved legislatures, will be free to change the law where they decide it is right to do so.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker grouped question UIN 105328 question first answered 09/10/2017 15:02:21 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2017 answer text <p>It is not standard practice to provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work that is being carried out within government. 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
