answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>In a no-deal scenario, the UK will be a third country unbound by EU law. UK technical specifications for interoperability will be published by the Secretary of State for Transport, and the European Commission will not hold liability for their content. The UK will also have the flexibility to align with or diverge from new technical standards developed by the EU after exit. We will only diverge where there are clear arguments for doing so and after engaging fully with industry to assess the impact. The Department is currently considering issues relating to liability for UK technical standards and continues to engage closely with stakeholders on this point.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 10/12/2018 14:32:09 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
