	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department for Exiting the European Union is committed to the creation of a diverse and inclusive working environment. Based on the self-declaration rates held on our system, the number of BAME staff employed in each grade group, and as a proportion of the staff in that grade who have made a declaration, is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Grade</p></td><td><p>Number (proportion)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band A (Grade 7 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>20 (13.6%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band A+ (Grade 6 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>12 (19.6%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SCS1 (Grade 5 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>fewer than 5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SCS2 (Grade 3 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>fewer than 5</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The Department has had success in attracting a diverse workforce at delegated grades (AO-G6 equivalent), and in particular our representation of BAME staff is one of the highest in government. Our priority is now to ensure we are representative at the most senior levels of the department focusing on processes such as talent, development, attraction and recruitment, as well as continuing to build an inclusive culture that celebrates uniqueness. These figures are based entirely on people identifying themselves as BAME on the Department’s HR system.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 24/07/2019 10:09:22 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2019 answer text <p>As set out in the Political Declaration, the UK and the EU have agreed their intention to put in place a comprehensive air transport agreement (CATA). This will provide market access for UK and EU airlines, and close cooperation on aviation safety, security and air traffic management. Where market access beyond Europe is currently determined by EU-negotiated arrangements, the Withdrawal Agreement sets out that the EU will notify treaty partners and third countries that the UK is to be treated as an EU Member State for the purposes of its international agreements during the implementation period, including air service agreements.</p><p>In the event of a no deal both the UK and the EU have plans in place to ensure that travel will continue in the short term. For travel with non-EU third countries, as set out on gov.uk, the UK has already secured a number of arrangements, including with the US and Canada, to ensure continuity of travel to third countries where air services agreements are currently provided for by virtue of the UK’s membership of the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 24/07/2019 14:12:05 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
