answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2022 answer text <p>We recognise how important it is for UK businesses to continue to be able to send their employees to the EU, for example for business meetings or fulfilling a contract. The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement includes reciprocal arrangements for business visitors between the UK and the EU, covering: short-term business visitors; travel for establishment purposes; intra-company transferees; contractual service suppliers and self-employed professionals. EU Member States may require a visa and/or work permit for some of these activities, and this will vary by country. UK nationals should check the entry requirements and rules of the country they intend to travel to well ahead of time, in case they need to apply for a visa, work permit or provide other documentation. They should also check that their passport has at least six months validity for the duration of their stay.</p><p>The Government has published information about entry requirements, including for companies that wish to relocate their employees to Europe for work purposes, covering all EU Member States and the EFTA countries. This guidance can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/travelling-to-the-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-or-liechtenstein-for-work.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 11/03/2022 12:50:41 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

This can include information from a GP. We do not advise claimants to request additional documents as this may slow down their claim, or incur a cost. GPs can charge their patients for producing additional supporting evidence and they may not always be best placed to provide evidence of a claimant’s functional capabilities.</p><p> </p><p>Part 1 of the PIP Assessment Guide (PIPAG) - Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment guide for assessment providers - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) - for Health Professionals who carry out PIP assessments, includes guidance at section 1.4 requiring them to review each claim to determine whether further evidence is needed. It also advises on the most appropriate source of further evidence considering a range of professionals who may be involved in supporting the claimant.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 08/03/2022 14:39:31 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2022 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has announced the largest and most severe package of economic sanctions Russia has ever seen. With our allies and partners, we have imposed the most punishing sanctions to inflict lasting impact. We will squeeze Putin's regime and all those close to him who are responsible for the appalling attack on Ukraine. The impact of sanctions has been significant. The big drop in the rouble in Russia suggests that investors expect the impact of sanctions on Russia to be huge. These sanctions send a clear message that nothing is off the table.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 07/03/2022 17:41:19 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
