answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>Upon leaving the EU, the UK will be responsible for its own independent tariff regime. The UK will not be responsible for the tariffs the EU sets on its imports. The EU has stated through its technical notices that it will apply the EU’s Common External Tariff to UK exports in the event of a no deal, including on food products. The Government’s tariff schedule for a no deal scenario is being finalised. Once a final decision has been taken, we will bring forward legislation to the House and communicate this in an appropriate way for a market sensitive announcement.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 26/02/2019 10:09:07 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>Protecting the UK’s right to regulate in the public interest and protect public services, including the NHS, is of the utmost importance. The UK’s public services are protected by specific exceptions and reservations in EU trade agreements - including the recent EU-Canada agreement (CETA) - and, as we leave the EU, the UK will continue to ensure that rigorous protections are included in all trade agreements it is party to. The Government has been consistently clear that we are committed to the fundamental principles of the NHS - that it is universal and free at the point of need. We will ensure that no trade agreements alter these fundamental facts.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 26/02/2019 10:00:38 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>The UK will continue to ensure that decisions about the NHS are made by UK Governments, including the Devolved Administrations, not our trade partners. The UK will determine whether private companies should be involved in providing services under contract, and if so to what extent. Trade deals will give no greater access for private companies, domestic or overseas, to NHS services.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 26/02/2019 10:06:20 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery
