answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government has firmly committed to protecting workers’ rights, and to extending those rights when that is the right choice for the UK. The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will ensure that workers’ rights enjoyed under EU law will continue to be available in UK law after we have left the EU.</p><p> </p><p>However, we do not need to be part of the EU to have strong protections for workers. The UK already goes beyond EU minimum standards in a number of employment areas, such as entitlement to annual leave, paid parental leave and provisions for flexible working. According to health and safety at work statistics, the UK is one of the safest places to work in the EU, based on its proportionate and risk-based approach to health and safety regulation.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 14/11/2017 14:10:58 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government continues to engage constructively in discussions with the EU across all facets of the negotiations. As the Prime Minister set out, the UK is seeking a strictly time-limited implementation period, based on the existing structure of EU rules and regulations, during which the UK and the EU would continue to have access to one another’s markets on current terms, and the UK would take part in existing security measures.</p><p>The Commission’s own Article 50 guidelines published in April also make provision for such a period of transition. The Government believes an implementation period is mutually beneficial to both the UK and the EU, helping both sides to minimise disruption and for there to be only one set of changes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 07/11/2017 16:15:49 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
