answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>Paragraph 52 of the Joint Report recognises the identity and citizenship rights of the people of Northern Ireland under the Belfast Agreement and the associated British-Irish Agreement (the Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of Ireland, done at Belfast on 10 April 1998), which gives effect to those rights under international law. Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010 does not extend to Northern Ireland and nor does it impact the rights that Ireland affords its citizens. There is a similar public sector duty in section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 21/12/2017 16:08:36 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting families. To achieve this, in 2014 the Department for Work and Pensions introduced the Family Test, which aims to ensure that impacts on family relationships and functioning are recognised early on during the process of policy development and help inform the policy decisions made by ministers.</p><p><strong><br></strong>The Prime Minister has also been clear that the process of exiting the European Union should not affect the ability of families to stay together. In the Joint Report on progress regarding the UK’s exit from the European Union, published on 8th December, it was announced that for EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU, who are captured by the Withdrawal Agreement, close family members will be able to join after exit on the basis of current EU rules, where the relationship existed at the point of the UK’s withdrawal. All family members lawfully resident with an EU citizen at the point of the UK’s withdrawal will also be protected and children born, before or after exit, to parents protected by the Withdrawal Agreement are entitled to join them.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 21/12/2017 16:46:11 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
