These talks explored aspects of the Withdrawal Agreement and the Political Declaration and sought to reach a compromise, but at the time, this was unsuccessful. The then Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, the Rt hon member for Aylesbury, and the hon member for Holborn and St Pancras gave evidence in July to the EU Select Committee on those talks:<a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/exiting-the-european-union-committee/news-parliament-2017/starmer-lidington-cross-party-evidence-17-19/" target="_blank"> </a></p><p><a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/exiting-the-european-union-committee/news-parliament-2017/starmer-lidington-cross-party-evidence-17-19/" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/exiting-the-european-union-committee/news-parliament-2017/starmer-lidington-cross-party-evidence-17-19/</a></p><p>We want to get a deal. This is why we have put forward a serious offer to the EU. It is a fair and reasonable compromise for all sides that respects the referendum. This new proposal means we will take back control of our laws and our borders, protect the Good Friday Agreement and the peace process, and ensures democratic consent for the arrangement.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 17/10/2019 12:53:11 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2020 answer text <p>Any private sector companies undertaking facilities management work for the Department for Exiting the European Union are managed and employed by building owners. The department operates, and has memorandum of terms of occupations (MOTO’s) with those building owners. As part of those agreements, those building owners employ and manage any third-party facilities management companies, so is therefore not the responsibility of the department. The department was recently onboarded to the Government Property Agency to manage the estate and the contracts between the department and those third-party companies. This responsibility would therefore sit with the Government Property Agency.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 21/01/2020 10:18:03 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
