uin	252499
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s preferred outcome remains that the UK should leave the EU in an orderly fashion with a Withdrawal Agreement. In this circumstance, the EU Regulations that cover freight connectivity (in particular the road measure, but also addressed by the aviation regulation in the context of air freight) would not need to come into effect. However, if the UK does leave the EU without having concluded a Withdrawal Agreement then the measure guarantees rights for UK carriers to carry goods to and from the EU until the end of December, which provides welcome certainty for UK carriers and their customers.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 17/05/2019 09:32:56 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Lord Grayling
