answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>The Government has consulted with Members from all sides of the House on a range of issues relating to the UK’s withdrawal from, and future relationship with the EU.</p><p>If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the UK would implement a temporary tariff regime that takes a balanced approach to support the UK economy as a whole. It will maintain open trade on the majority of UK imports, to support consumers and business supply chains, but retain necessary tariff protection for particular sectors of the UK economy. This would apply for up to 12 months while a full consultation, and review on a permanent approach, is undertaken.</p><p>As a responsible government we’ve been preparing to minimise any disruption in the event of no deal for over three years. We remain focused on ensuring our smooth and orderly withdrawal from the EU.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 15/07/2019 16:08:25 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

uin	275196
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>There are no plans to change the existing well-established principles around consent to treatment on behalf of children or to bring forward legislation. The principles around consent to treatment or refusal of treatment apply to both general treatment and the very difficult decisions around end of life.</p><p>It is a general legal and ethical principle that valid consent must be obtained from an individual or, where the individual is not competent to make such decisions, from someone acting on the individual’s behalf, before starting a treatment or physical intervention.</p><p>However, those under 16 are not automatically presumed to be legally competent to make decisions about their healthcare. Where someone under 16 is not considered competent to give consent for themselves, the existing principle is that consent should be sought from a person with parental responsibility although in certain circumstances this can be overruled by the courts.</p><p>In ‘Our Commitment to you for end of life care’, we set out what everyone should expect from their care at the end of life and the actions we are taking to make high quality personalised care a reality for all. This includes ensuring that patients, careers and families, including parents, are at the centre of care decision making.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 15/07/2019 15:20:35 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>The average value of fish landed by UK and Other Member State vessels from the UK Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) each year is £1,184 million (~£1.2 billion), this represents 38.4% of the total value the UK and Other Member State fleets land from the Northeast Atlantic sea area.</p><p> </p><p>In 2017, the UK exported £1.9bn (460,000 tonnes) of fish and seafood products globally, with over 70% of exports to the EU. The UK is a net importer of fish, importing over 730,000 tonnes of fish worth £3.1bn, with the majority of imports originating outside of the EU.</p><p> </p><p>The Marine Management Organisation publishes trade analysis in their annual UK Sea Fisheries Statistics publication, which can be found at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-sea-fisheries-annual-statistics-report-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-sea-fisheries-annual-statistics-report-2017</a></p><p> </p><p>These statistics include the outward movement of fish and seafood products produced by businesses in the UK, plus goods which, after importation to the UK, are then exported. The statistics include fish caught by foreign vessels and landed into the UK; fish caught by the UK fleet and landed into foreign ports are excluded. It is not possible to discern the origin of fish from UK trade statistics, or from this the proportion consumed in the UK originating from fish caught in UK waters.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 15/07/2019 15:19:16 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
