answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The original proposals put forward by the EU are ones we cannot accept. It would mean creating a customs border down the Irish sea and breaking the integrity of the UK. The proposals we have put forward for our future economic relationship would allow both sides to meet our commitments to the people of Northern Ireland in full. We are working hard to get a deal on that basis. While we remain committed to resolving the Northern Ireland border through our overall economic relationship, the backstop is a critical issue, and we stand by all our commitments including the safeguarding of the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 05/11/2018 14:26:02 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government's legal position on this question remains unchanged: Article 127 does not need to be triggered for the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement to cease to have effect. In the absence of any further action, the EEA Agreement will no longer operate in respect of the UK when we leave the EU. We do not consider, therefore, that providing written notice to the other Contracting Parties under Article 127 of the EEA Agreement is necessary.</p><p>We agreed with the EU at March European Council that they will notify third parties that the UK will be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements during the implementation period. This includes the EEA Agreement.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 05/11/2018 17:24:53 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>Government departments make use of non-disclosure agreements when structuring engagements with businesses or other organisations on preparations for leaving the EU.</p><p>They are also a common component of contractual arrangements that are used to protect commercial considerations of the parties involved or to protect sensitives around the development of Government policy.</p><p>It is entirely normal practice to use such agreements and they are therefore sometimes necessary for Government departments who are responsible for managing their preparations for leaving the EU. This department has put a limited number of non-disclosure agreements in place in the course of its work.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 05/11/2018 17:34:19 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
