answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance to businesses and households of having access to an affordable, secure and sustainable supply of energy. The Yellowhammer Reasonable Worst Case Planning Assumptions are not based on a single forecast of expected prices. Many factors impact electricity prices including factors such as fuel prices, exchange rates and generation mix.</p><p>We expect that any change in electricity prices in Great Britain as a result of changes to interconnector trading arrangements would fall within the normal range of market volatility.</p><p>We assume in this Reasonable Worst Case Planning Assumption that the Single Electricity Market (SEM) shared between Northern Ireland and Ireland may not be able to continue. If this is the case we would expect higher and more volatile electricity prices in Northern Ireland as a result of losing benefits from the more efficient, shared market. By far the best outcome for electricity in Northern Ireland is to maintain the SEM and the Government remains committed to seeking to maintain the SEM in any scenario.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 02/10/2019 15:58:05 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>The Department has been working with trade bodies, product suppliers, and the health and care system in England to make detailed plans that should ensure continuation of the supply of all medicines and medical products to the whole of the United Kingdom in the event of a ‘no deal’ European Union exit. For those medicines that cannot be stockpiled because, for example, they have short shelf-lives, such as medical radioisotopes, we have asked suppliers to make alternative arrangements using airfreight. We have offered support to companies to arrange this.</p><p>In parallel, the Department is setting up an express freight service designed to transport medicines and medical products into the UK if a supplier’s own contingency measures encounter difficulties or where there is a specific medical need.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 02/10/2019 12:16:52 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>Veterinary medicines have been recognised by the Government as critical to human and animal welfare and national security.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of veterinary medicines used in the UK (and ingredients and components to make them) are either produced in or enter via the EU. The Government is working with animal health companies who have been carrying out extensive EU Exit contingency planning for all EU Exit scenarios, including no deal, covering all aspects of their supply chains, from regulatory compliance and stocking levels to logistics and customs. This includes, as appropriate, increasing stocks of product in the UK, changing supply routes, transferring marketing authorisations and other regulatory processes.</p><p> </p><p>Additional cross-government activities include a comprehensive business/trader readiness information campaign to help individuals and businesses understand what they need to do to get ready for Brexit and the Government’s Freight Capacity Framework is intended to support the continued supply of Category 1 goods (to include veterinary medicines) in the event of border disruption.</p><p> </p><p>Supply is expected to cope with a normalised ordering pattern.</p><p> </p><p>With this planning in place, we are confident that we have made every effort to ensure continuity of supply of veterinary medicines in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Richmond Park answering member printed Zac Goldsmith question first answered 07/10/2019 13:27:12 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/10/2019 answer text <p>Working closely with the regulators, the government has legislated extensively to prepare for a No Deal. This includes the Temporary Permissions Regime (TPR) which will allow EEA firms currently passporting into the UK to continue doing so temporarily after Brexit, and a transitional power for regulators to phase in post-exit regulatory requirements for firms where they have changed as a result of the UK leaving the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Following this and wider action by industry and regulators, the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee (FPC) judges that “most risks to UK financial stability from disruption to cross-border financial services in a ‘no deal’ scenario have been mitigated”. The FPC have also said that the core of the UK’s financial system is “resilient to and prepared for the wide range of risks it could face, including a disorderly Brexit”. While most risks have been addressed, the FPC is clear that the UK authorities are not able to fully address risks to EEA customers through unilateral action and “in the absence of further action by EU authorities, some disruption is possible.”</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 03/10/2019 18:21:12 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
