answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government recognises that early agreement on an implementation period is important to provide certainty to businesses and individuals on both sides of the channel. The timing and detail of the implementation period will of course be a matter for negotiations. The Government welcomes President Tusk’s call for discussions on the implementation period to start immediately and his comments that it should be agreed as soon as possible. This very much aligns with the Government’s position.</p><p>We will continue to keep Parliament informed through regular statements and committee appearances, and will continue to timetable debates in Government time.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 18/12/2017 16:59:55 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
