answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text I speak with the Secretary of State for International Trade regularly on a range of issues. Existing EU regulations mean that some skin and fur products may never be legally imported into the UK for commercial use. These include cat and dog fur and products as well as seal skins and products from commercial hunts. Regulations banning the import of these furs will remain in force after the UK has left the EU, as these will be converted into UK domestic law through the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill. answering member constituency Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale answering member printed David Mundell question first answered 16/07/2018 12:17:34 answering member 1512 label Biography information for David Mundell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2018 answer text <p>Cabinet meets regularly to discuss a range of issues relating to our departure from the European Union. In relation to the replacement of EU structural funds, the Government has committed to creating a UK Shared Prosperity Fund which will boost productivity and reduce inequalities across our four nations.</p><p> </p><p>In 2016, the Chancellor confirmed that the Government will guarantee EU funding for structural and investment fund projects signed after the Autumn Statement and which continue after we have left the EU. Further to this, the Withdrawal Agreement ensures that UK entities’ right to participate in EU programmes will be unaffected by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU for the lifetime of projects financed by the current Multi-annual Financial Framework. UK based organisations and individuals will be able to bid for funding, participate in and lead consortia, until programme closure. This settlement, once agreed as part of the Withdrawal Treaty, will supersede the requirement for the domestic guarantee announced by the Government in 2016. UK organisations should continue to bid for EU funding with the assurance that payments will continue after our departure from the EU.</p> answering member constituency Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale answering member printed David Mundell question first answered 11/07/2018 09:49:21 answering member 1512 label Biography information for David Mundell
