A permit scheme, should it be required, could take several forms. One such scheme is the ECMT (European Conference of Ministers of Transport) permit scheme.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/08/2018 answer text <p>The Government continues to engage broadly across the economy, to hear businesses' views as we leave the EU, including those representing the tourism and hospitality industries. The Secretaries of State for DExEU and BEIS and the Chancellor of the Exchequer co-chair a EU Exit Business Advisory Group to ensure business is not only heard but is influential throughout the negotiations. The meeting is attended by senior officials from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Institute of Directors (IoD), Manufacturers’ Association (EEF), British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) and Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). DExEU Minister Robin Walker has also twice attended the Tourism Industry Council and the former Immigration Minister Brandon Lewis MP held a roundtable with the hospitality sector.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government has also asked the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to gather evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy, ahead of our exit from the EU. In their interim report published in March, the MAC reported that they had received 417 responses from a wide range of sectors and businesses - a record for a MAC commission. The MAC is due to publish their final report in September and the Government will take account of their findings when designing our future immigration system.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 22/08/2018 12:50:34 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2018 answer text <p>Article 4 of Regulation (EC) 1071/2009 requires a transport manager employed by an EU transport operator to be resident in the Community. The eligibility of UK-resident transport managers to work for an operator in an EU member state when the UK is no longer a member of the EU will be a matter for negotiation.</p><p> </p><p>On 7 June, following discussions with the EU, the UK published ‘Framework for the UK-EU Partnership - Transport’, setting out UK proposals for the future UK-EU relationship. The recently published White Paper on the Future Relationship Between the UK and the EU made clear that the UK wants to explore options for a reciprocal access deal for road hauliers and passenger transport operators. There is a strong mutual interest in reaching an ambitious agreement, which maximises benefits for all our citizens and businesses.<strong> <br></strong></p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 26/07/2018 13:46:34 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman

During the implementation period, the UK will no longer be a Member State of the European Union, but market access will continue on current terms.

We want to ensure that traders, intermediaries and freight forwarders can continue to move goods through ports as quickly and seamlessly as they do now. We have set up a Border Delivery Group to bring together individual departmental plans, forming an overall picture and plan of what we need to do at borders.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 24/07/2018 11:08:48 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
