question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to Article 127 of the 1994 European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement, whether the Government has given the twelve months’ written notice to the other Contracting Parties of its intention to withdraw from that Agreement.

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 26/10/2018 answer text <p>We have agreed a fair financial settlement with the EU as part of the draft Withdrawal Agreement. It reflects the UK paying its share of the outstanding EU commitments made during the period of our membership. Our estimate, based on reasonable assumptions and publicly available data, is that it will fall within the range of £35-39bn and the National Audit Office confirmed in April 2018 that these assumptions were reasonable.</p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 26/10/2018 13:22:34 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman

As the Prime Minister said during her Statement to the House on 22nd October 2018, we do not want to extend the implementation period, nor do we believe that extending it will be necessary. We are working at pace to ensure that the necessary arrangements for our future partnership are in place for 31 December 2020.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 30/10/2018 13:26:44 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

uin	179191
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2018 answer text <p>No. The EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill will only implement the Withdrawal Agreement. However the Bill will only be introduced following Parliament’s approval of the final deal covering both the withdrawal arrangements and the framework for the future relationship.</p><p>As the Prime Minister made clear in her Florence speech last year, the EU is not “legally able to conclude an agreement with the UK as an external partner while it is itself still part of the European Union”. Therefore, the Government will introduce further separate legislation where it is needed to implement the future relationship into UK law, ensuring Parliament is fully involved.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 18/10/2018 13:45:55 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
