	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2017 answer text <p>Maintaining effective North-South cross-border co-operation remains a key objective for the UK Government, both now, and as the UK leaves the EU, in accordance with the democratically expressed wishes of the people. For this reason, the Government’s Northern Ireland and Ireland Position Paper has clearly set out the need to focus in the initial phases of the Ireland Northern Ireland Dialogue on reaching a common understanding of the principles of North-South and East-West cooperation. Further, this Paper also makes clear our belief that the UK and the EU should be mindful of the full breadth of commitments made in the Belfast (‘Good Friday’) Agreement. It is for this reason we have proposed within the Paper that the UK and EU agree to the continuation of PEACE funding to Northern Ireland and border counties of Ireland. Work with a range of stakeholders continues to these ends.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 13/10/2017 10:34:20 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith

This will ensure that, wherever possible, the same rules and laws will apply the day after exit as they did before.</p><p>The Government is still making a detailed assessment of what corrections will be required to make that law function appropriately on exit day. The Government’s current estimate is that we will need to make between 800 and 1,000 statutory instruments to make exit a reality in UK law.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 12/09/2017 16:53:43 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2017 answer text <p>We have been very clear that we want to protect the Common Travel Area (CTA) arrangements that have served these islands well for nearly 100 years. We are supported in that determination by the EU, the Irish Government and parties in Northern Ireland. This means no routine immigration controls on journeys from within parts of the CTA (Ireland and the Crown Dependencies (Isle of Man; Jersey; Guernsey)) to the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We have been equally clear that as we exit the EU we will not countenance a situation that places new barriers between constituent parts of the United Kingdom. There is therefore, no question of any new passport or other checks on people travelling between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. As the Secretary of State said in his speech to the Conservative Party Conference there must be “no border between Great Britain and Northern Ireland or anything that fractures the internal market of the United Kingdom which benefits Northern Ireland hugely”.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 25/10/2017 16:40:09 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
