tabling member printed	Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town
uin	HL4668
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2018 answer text <p>The Government values the strong collaborative partnerships that we have across the European Union in the areas of science, research and innovation, and as part of exit negotiations is working to ensure that we have the best possible environment in which to support the United Kingdom medical research sector and patient access to cross-border clinical trials after we leave the EU.</p><p>In the United Kingdom, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, Health Research Authority, ethics services, National Institute for Health Research and the National Health Service have been working towards implementation of the new European Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR) since it was agreed in 2014. The application date of the CTR across the EU is yet to be set by the European Commission, but is expected to be in 2019.</p><p>Whatever the outcome of the UK’s EU exit negotiations, the current regulatory approval legislation will stay in place until such time as any changes are needed, so there will be no interruption in UK clinical trials approval. The EU Withdrawal Bill will make the current UK clinical trials regulations (2004 2001/1031) that implement the clinical trials directive (2001/20/EC) operable on exit day and this is not contingent on any decision about whether the CTR will apply in the future.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy grouped question UIN HL4670 question first answered 24/01/2018 16:00:34 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>Clause 3 of the EU (Withdrawal) Bill will convert direct EU legislation, including EU regulations, into domestic law so far as they are “operative” in the UK immediately before exit day. EU regulations which are in force before the UK’s departure, but are stated to apply after exit day, will not be converted by clause 3.</p><p> </p><p>The government has announced its intention to negotiate an implementation period with the EU.
