	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p><strong></strong>We have agreed a fair financial settlement with the EU as part of the draft Withdrawal Agreement which reflects the UK paying its share of the outstanding EU commitments made during the period of our membership. Our estimate, based on reasonable assumptions and publically available data, falls within the range of £35bn-£39bn, and the National Audit Office confirmed in April 2018 that these assumptions were reasonable.</p><p>Details of the basis on which that figure was reached can be found in the draft Withdrawal Agreement, published on November 14th, 2018. The Chancellor of the Exchequer also provided details to the Treasury Select Committee in January 2018, including a breakdown of the components of the settlement.</p><p> </p><p><strong><strong></strong><br></strong></p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 06/12/2018 16:53:30 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

The Government is considering very carefully a range of options, but where there is a demonstrable national interest in pursuing a continued relationship with an EU body, we will carefully examine whether we should pursue this. This will be a matter for negotiations.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 14/05/2018 16:11:25 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>Article 3 of the Withdrawal Agreement published on 26 November clearly states that Gibraltar is covered to the extent that Union Law applied to it before. Article 184, which records the UK and the EU’s commitment to negotiate in good faith and conclude agreements envisaged by the Political Declaration on their future relationship within a certain time frame, imposes no obligations regarding the territorial scope of future agreements. This is the EU and the UK’s shared interpretation. The government has also been clear that the UK will negotiate future agreements on behalf of all territories for whose external relations it is responsible.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 04/12/2018 13:57:53 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

	tabling member printed	Lord Pearson of Rannoch
	uin	HL7770
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>Article 50 is the only lawful way to withdraw from the Union under the EU Treaties. Article 50 should be considered as a whole and sets out all the relevant procedures for a legal withdrawal. The UK is a law-abiding country and does not pick and choose which of its obligations to abide by and which to ignore. Negotiating and concluding a Withdrawal Agreement as provided for under Article 50 is in the interests of both the UK and the EU.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 22/05/2018 15:54:50 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
