answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s White Paper on the Future Relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union is clear that free movement of people, as defined in European law, will end as the UK leaves the EU. The UK’s future immigration arrangements will set out how those from the EU and elsewhere can apply to come and work in the UK. The UK will want to continue to attract the brightest and the best, to support our public services and enhance the UK’s attractiveness for research, development and innovation. The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) report, due in September 2018, will provide important evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy to inform this.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The UK will also make a sovereign choice in a defined number of areas to seek reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU, building on current World Trade Organisation (WTO) General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) commitments. Trade agreements that exist globally covering trade in services include provisions on the mobility of people for the provision of services (known as ‘Mode 4’ commitments). These provisions enable businesses to provide services and to move their talented people, for example as an intra-corporate transfer. The exact scope and definition of such provisions in any future agreement between the UK and EU will be a matter for negotiation.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 20/07/2018 15:00:03 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2018 answer text <p>The Department has not made any formal assessment of the cost to the public purse of the continued use of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). We have been clear that we want all current and future United Kingdom nationals to continue to benefit from EHIC rights (and vice versa European Union nationals in the UK).</p><p> </p><p>The figures for financial years 2012/13 to 2016/17 (rounded to the nearest pound) are attached. They include the claims covering Article 93 which covers the combined claims for healthcare costs relating to temporary visitors (via European Health Insurance Cards), workers temporarily posted abroad by their employer, referrals for treatment in other European Economic Area countries, or equivalent claims calculated on a formula basis under bilateral arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>Member State claims against the UK are in local currency so totals are significantly affected by the exchange rate at the time of payment and can mean a difference of millions of pounds. Member States can submit claims up to 18 months in arrears so claims for any 12 month period do not necessarily reflect treatment provided in that period.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 20/07/2018 09:52:37 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay attachment 1 file name PQ-163581 EHIC cost to public purse 2012-17 Article 93.xlsx title PQ163581 attached document
