answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2019 answer text <p>The settlement agreed with the EU represents a comprehensive settlement covering all of the mutual commitments between the EU and the UK. The OBR’s latest estimate is laid as part of the wider OBR Economic and Fiscal Outlook publication. The most recent estimate, £37.8bn, was published in the March 2019 Economic and Fiscal Outlook. This analysis assumes an exit date of 29 March 2019</p><p> </p><p>The European Council has agreed an extension to Article 50 to the end of October. During the extension, the UK will continue to be a member of the European Union. While we remain in the EU we will uphold our commitments on the EU Budget, adjusted for the rebate. Similarly, the EU continues to have legal obligations to us as a member state, including in respect of receipts from the EU budget. We will provide an updated estimate of the value of the financial settlement once the UK has left the EU.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The UK makes two contributions per month to the EU Budget which will vary from month to month. These payments are made on the first working day and the first working day after the 19th of each month. As such, it would not be possible to calculate a daily cost of an extension to Article 50 to the end of October.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 14/05/2019 13:24:45 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

The Withdrawal Agreement gives the UK audit rights with respect to the implementation of the financial provisions of the withdrawal agreement, including, contingent liabilities. On the UK’s request, the EU will provide these auditors with information and assistance to allow them to assure the implementation of the financial settlement. The application of these rights will be a significant source of assurance for Parliament in respect of payments under the financial settlement.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/01/2019 14:22:52 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

uin	199863
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>The Withdrawal Agreement (WA) set the framework for the management, control and oversight of the UK’s EIB risk and ongoing liabilities. As part of the WA the UK secured the return of its €3.5bn capital in the EIB. The UK will maintain its contingent liability for financial operations approved before the WA enters into force to ensure existing projects face no disruption. This commitment will decrease as the back book of loans runs down and only in very exceptional circumstances would the EIB call upon the UK to contribute further amounts to the Bank; to date, the EIB has never called on Member States in this way. If this guarantee were called upon, any support would be provided on equal terms with Member States.</p><p>As set out in the WA the EIB is obligated to send the UK annual details of the UK’s remaining exposure and the limit on the UK’s liabilities to the EIB in addition to details of any material changes that could impact the UK’s liabilities.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 11/12/2018 15:34:09 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
