answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>We firmly believe it is in the interests of both the EU and the UK to strike a deal. That remains the goal on both sides and we are confident that this will be achieved. But it is the job of a responsible Government to prepare for all scenarios, including the unlikely event that we reach March 2019 without agreeing a deal.</p><p>We have already carried out very significant ‘no deal’ preparations and on 23 August we published 25 technical notices, intended to inform people, businesses and stakeholders about steps they may need to take in the event of a ‘no deal’ scenario. These were the first in a series of updates which we will be publishing over the coming weeks.</p><p>This does not reflect an increased likelihood of ‘no deal;’ an acceleration at this point was long-planned to ensure plans are in place by March 2019 in the unlikely scenario they are needed. We are confident that we will deliver a good deal that Parliament will want to support and when we bring forward the vote on the final deal we will ensure that Parliament is presented with the appropriate analysis.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 11/09/2018 14:42:04 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>The Government is working to secure continuity of our existing international agreements as we leave the EU. A number of these agreements include service-related elements, such as services chapters in existing EU Free Trade Agreements. The EU and UK agreed at the March European Council that, during the implementation period, the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements and that the EU will notify third parties to these agreements to this effect. This approach provides certainty and confidence that there will be no disruption to existing relationships underpinned by international agreements. A number of countries have already publicly welcomed the approach. <br> <br>We are also engaging with partner countries to put in place successor agreements that replicate the effects of existing agreements as far as possible and will come into force following the implementation period. Our discussions with our international partners show a willingness to deliver continuity across these agreements.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 04/09/2018 16:46:23 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

We are confident that this is in the interests of both sides and we are working with the EU’s negotiating team at pace to agree the terms of our future relationship alongside the Withdrawal Agreement later this year.</p><p>At the end of that process, Parliament will have a vote. The vote offered by Government to Parliament will be either to accept or reject the deal. If the Withdrawal Agreement and the framework for our future relationship are not approved by the House of Commons, the Government will be unable to ratify the withdrawal agreement. As a matter of international law, the EU Treaties will cease to apply to the UK on 29 March 2019. .</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 04/09/2018 16:19:29 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
