	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government is seeking to provide continuity and certainty as the UK leaves the EU. To this end, we have introduced the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to ensure that UK law continues to work after the UK leaves the EU, whatever the outcome of negotiations. It does this by transferring EU law into UK law, preserving the effect of existing law where possible and appropriate.</p><p>The Directive on the Legal Protection of Computer Programs, including its provisions on the resale of software, has already been implemented into UK law and will therefore be retained in UK law after the UK leaves the EU, subject to any amendments necessary to ensure it functions appropriately once the UK has withdrawn from the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 08/11/2018 16:12:26 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2018 answer text <p>As talks progress on the future relationship, we are working hard and at pace to deliver the best possible agreement on the future framework, which will be to the mutual benefit of both the UK and the EU. The Government’s recent White Paper set out its ambition to agree a far-reaching science and innovation accord as part of our future relationship with the EU. This includes exploring association in research and innovation programmes, including Horizon Europe.</p><p>The UK and the EU have been clear that the Withdrawal Agreement and the Future Framework form a package, and that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed - meaning that neither document can be considered final until this is true of both. With talks ongoing, we remain firmly on track to reach agreement on the Withdrawal Agreement and the Future Framework in the autumn.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 27/09/2018 15:01:51 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2018 answer text <p>Both the UK and the EU have been clear about the benefits of international collaboration on science and innovation and it is our intention to continue this cooperation with the EU. The government’s ambition for this is reflected in the document published in May 2018, which was presented to our EU counterparts during a technical session. The document can be found here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/710268/SCIENCE_-_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/710268/SCIENCE_-_FINAL.pdf</a>.</p><p>The White Paper sets out proposals for a cooperative accord on science and innovation, which will provide for UK participation in EU research funding programmes, enable continued cooperation through joint participation in networks, infrastructure, policies and agencies which are to the UK’s and the EU’s joint benefit, and establish channels for regular dialogue between regulators, researchers and experts. We are working at pace to conclude this agreement.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 27/09/2018 15:03:33 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
