answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 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. 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>As I said in my previous answer, this department has put a limited number of NDAs in place in the course of its work. The department’s 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> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 12/11/2018 16:43:39 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>As set out in the White Paper the UK proposes a UK-EU free trade area for goods, to ensure continued frictionless access at the border to each other’s markets, with no tariffs, underpinned by an upfront commitment to a common rulebook on goods, including agri-food and a Facilitated Customs Arrangement to avoid customs checks and controls at our borders.</p><p>However, in the unlikely event of a no deal scenario, trade with the EU will be on non-preferential, WTO terms. This means that most favoured nation (MFN) tariffs would apply to consignments between the UK and EU.</p><p>The EU MFN rates are set out in the EU's Common Customs Tariff (CCT). The EU may change these rates between now and March 2019, but this provides an indication.</p><p>The UK will apply its MFN rates to goods imported into the UK from the EU. The government will determine and publish these new UK duty rates before we leave the EU. They may be different from the rates in the EU’s CCT.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 15/11/2018 15:01:36 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK and the EU start from a unique position of aligned rules. The Government’s White Paper on the Future Relationship between the UK and the EU proposes a UK-EU free trade area, including chemicals, which is underpinned by a common rulebook for goods. The UK is also seeking participation in the EU agencies for highly regulated sectors, including the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Our proposal would avoid friction at the border and mean that businesses could access both UK and EU markets through one series of approvals.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 12/11/2018 16:44:44 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
