	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>Government departments make use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when structuring their engagements on preparations for leaving the EU, which is a crucial component of planning. It is for departments to determine the manner in which engagement with stakeholders takes place. Given the sensitive nature of some discussions, there may be limited circumstances in which departments have used NDAs to enable those conversations, thereby reaching more stakeholders than would otherwise be the case.</p><p>As I said in my previous answer, this department has put a limited number of NDAs in place in the course of its work. The department’s use of NDAs is limited to standard contractual arrangements with those providing services to support our work and are necessary to protect commercial considerations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 12/11/2018 16:43:39 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK and the EU start from a unique position of aligned rules. The Government’s White Paper on the Future Relationship between the UK and the EU proposes a UK-EU free trade area, including chemicals, which is underpinned by a common rulebook for goods. The UK is also seeking participation in the EU agencies for highly regulated sectors, including the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Our proposal would avoid friction at the border and mean that businesses could access both UK and EU markets through one series of approvals.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 12/11/2018 16:44:44 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
