uin	205916
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>The EU and the UK are committed to an arrangement with no tariffs between the UK and the EU. However, in the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, goods traded between the UK and the EU will be subject to the same requirements as third country goods, including the payment of duty. For UK exports to the EU, the EU will require payment of customs duty at the rate under the EU’s Common Customs Tariff (CCT). Full details are available on the EU’s website (<a href="http://madb.europa.eu/madb/euTariffs.htm" target="_blank">http://madb.europa.eu/madb/euTariffs.htm</a>).</p><p>The current third country duty on most types of motor vehicles is 10%, therefore the tariffs would likely be £1,500 for (a) and £2,500 for (b). However, more information is needed on the vehicles in question to provide an exact answer. Furthermore, the EU may change these rates between now and March 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 16/01/2019 15:11:17 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>As a matter of course, the Government does not publish legal advice.</p><p>The EEA Agreement only applies to the UK in its capacity as an EU Member State. The EEA Agreement will no longer operate in respect of the UK when we leave the EU. However, at the March European Council we agreed with the EU that the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements for the duration of the implementation period. This includes the EEA Agreement. Alongside the Withdrawal Agreement, the EU undertook to notify its treaty partners that the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of EU international agreements during the implementation period.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 14/01/2019 12:27:23 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

A key element of this is providing the public with information on all possible scenarios, including leaving the EU without a deal.</p><p>It is not however possible to attribute the Department’s costs to specific scenario planning such as no deal. This is because the Department does not record expenditure against potential outcomes; it records expenditure on a functional basis.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 16/01/2019 15:58:34 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 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.</p><p>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>The department has put a limited number of NDAs in place in the course of its work. The 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>According to central records, the department has seven current NDAs covering standard contractual arrangements with providers for activity including media monitoring, consultancy and research.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 16/01/2019 15:51:18 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
