answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2019 answer text <p>In the event that the UK leaves the EU with no deal, the Government’s priority is to provide continuity for UK industry. Our transition policy is therefore to ensure UK industry retains trade remedy protections on exit, and so we are committed to carrying across existing measures where there is a UK interest, and then reviewing them to make them UK specific. We will follow this approach for any definitive safeguard measures that are in place on exit, as well as for existing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 14/02/2019 13:14:01 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

uin	218289
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2019 answer text <p>Protecting the NHS is of the utmost importance and the UK Government’s position is that the NHS is not, and never will be, for sale to the private sector, whether overseas or domestic. The NHS is protected by specific exceptions and reservations in EU trade agreements, including the recent EU-Canada agreement (CETA). As we leave the EU, the UK will continue to ensure that rigorous protections for the NHS are included in trade agreements it is party to, whether transitioned from an EU context or as a result of new negotiations.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 14/02/2019 13:16:27 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery
