Prior to the collapse of the Northern Ireland Executive in January 2017, these meetings were attended by Ministers from the Northern Ireland Executive. We would have liked this engagement to continue, and we are working hard to restore devolved government in Northern Ireland as soon as possible. In the absence of an Executive, the JMC(EN) has been attended by senior officials from the Northern Ireland Civil Service. We are committed to working to ensure Northern Ireland interests are represented in the meantime.<br><br></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 15/06/2018 08:59:10 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department is tasked with successfully delivering the UK’s exit from the European Union. A key element of this is ensuring preparation for all possible scenarios, including leaving the EU without a deal.</p><p>The Department’s costs, along with planned Estimates for future years, can be found in the latest Annual Report and Accounts (<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/727528/CCS207_CCS0618826768-1_DExEU_ARA_1718_PDF_Final_TEXT_v2__1_.pdf" target="_blank">link</a>). It is not however possible to accurately attribute the Department’s costs to specific scenario planning, such as “no deal”, as the Department’s work is not compartmentalised in such a manner.</p><p>The Department cannot comment on the cost of the work performed by other departments. Such questions would need redirecting to each department.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 20/12/2018 15:45:00 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>The UK’s EU membership is inextricably linked to its current membership of the EUI Convention. As a result of exiting the EU, the UK will no longer be an EU member state and so, in a no deal scenario, the UK’s membership of the European University Institute Convention (EUIC) will automatically cease on 29 March 2019. In a deal scenario, the UK’s membership of this Convention will continue for the duration of the implementation period.</p><p>The Government has repeatedly made clear that it values international exchange and collaboration in education and training as part of its vision for a Global Britain. The Political Declaration sets out that we will establish general principles, terms and conditions for UK participation in EU programmes in areas of shared interest, and wider dialogues to allow us to share best practice and act together in our mutual interest. On this basis, we will explore with the European University Institute options for future participation in its activities and we will work to ensure that UK students at the EUI will be able to complete their studies. Furthermore, UK universities will be able to continue to collaborate with the EUI in research projects even if the UK is no longer a member of the EUI Convention.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 25/02/2019 16:03:49 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
