answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>Following productive discussions with the EU, a clear vision for the UK’s future relationship with the EU has been set out in the recent Political Declaration. This included an agreement that both parties will establish general principles, terms and conditions for the UK’s participation in future EU programmes in areas of shared interest, including in areas such as science and innovation, culture and education. The next generation of EU programmes are currently under negotiation in the EU. The Government will decide whether to participate in specific programmes in light of these negotiations and wider UK priorities.</p><p>Furthermore, under the terms of the proposed Withdrawal Agreement, UK entities' right to participate in EU programmes during the current Multiannual Financial Framework period, such as Horizon 2020 and Creative Europe, will be unaffected by the UK's withdrawal from the EU for the lifetime of projects financed by the current MFF. According to the Withdrawal Agreement, UK based organisations and individuals will be able to bid for funding, participate in and lead consortia, until programme closure.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 20/12/2018 15:41:37 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>During the passage of the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in the Commons the Government committed to providing a statement about the impact of all EU exit bills on equalities legislation (which includes provisions on disability as a protected characteristic). The Government’s commitment requires the relevant Minister to make and publish a statement for each EU exit bill indicating:</p><ol><li><p>whether the bill amends, repeals or revokes any part of the Equality Acts 2006 or 2010 or any secondary legislation made under those Acts and, if it does make such changes, an explanation of the effect of each change; and</p></li><li><p>that in relation to the policy which is given effect by the Bill, the relevant Minister “has had due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Equality Act 2010.”</p></li><li><p>that the Government will be making such a statement in respect of the WAB (which will be set out in the Explanatory Notes accompanying the Bill on its introduction); and this analysis has been carried out to inform decision-making on the Withdrawal Agreement and as preparation for the equality statement.</p></li></ol><p>The UK Government is committed to ensuring that there is no regression in equalities as we leave the EU. The Equality Act 2010 sets out wide-ranging equalities protections, and incorporates virtually all existing EU equalities law and Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) case law. In some areas, domestic legislation goes further than EU requirements - for example the public sector equality duty, which places a duty on public authorities to consider how their policies or decisions would affect people who are protected under the Equality Act. There are also domestic requirements that ensure non-discrimination in access to goods and services on grounds of disability.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 27/11/2018 15:11:40 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government is undertaking a wide range of ongoing analysis in support of our EU exit negotiations and preparations. This analysis helps define our future partnership with the EU, and informs our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks. Ministers have a specific responsibility, which Parliament has endorsed, not to release information that would reveal our negotiating position and so the Government will not provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government is committed to positive and productive engagement with local governments across the UK, and will continue to work closely with them to understand the implications of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. Ministers from across Government have also carried out extensive engagement on EU exit with businesses and industry bodies from all sectors of the economy and all regions of the UK, including those headquartered in Yorkshire.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The FCA combined with a common rulebook on agricultural and industrial goods should ensure that businesses from all over the UK including Yorkshire can continue to export to the EU with no new barriers or frictions.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 19/07/2018 15:29:25 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
