In addition, the government has made a commitment not to reduce the standards of workers’ rights from EU laws retained in UK law and will ensure that new legislation changing those laws will be assessed as to whether they uphold this commitment. Any future changes in relation to rights and protections will be subject to the appropriate parliamentary scrutiny – with Parliament and the electorate continuing to hold the Government to account.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 11/04/2019 12:11:09 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

We are considering very carefully a range of options. In most cases we anticipate that repatriated EU functions can be absorbed by existing UK departments and existing public bodies. Prior to any decisions on establishing new UK-level bodies, the Government always looks to minimise disruption and costs, which includes considering alternative options, such as the use of existing public bodies.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 15/04/2019 12:57:44 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>The UK government has always acted to ensure that UK nationals can continue to live their lives broadly as they do now, and that remains our objective both in a deal and no deal scenario. The Withdrawal Agreement will protect the rights of around one million UK nationals in the EU and over 3 million EU citizens in the UK.</p><p>The UK cannot act unilaterally to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU and that is why we have always prioritised reaching a reciprocal agreement with the EU. The Government has been calling on Member States to protect the rights of UK nationals in a no deal scenario and we welcome the progress that has been made. All Member States have set out their no deal plans and provided some reassurances that the rights of UK nationals will be protected in the event of a no deal, but we continue to call on them to go further and match our no deal offer to EU citizens.</p><p>The Government recognises the concerns of UK nationals in the EU including those who may choose to return to the UK, and published a policy paper on 4 April 2019 setting out the steps that we have taken to address these concerns should UK nationals decide to return, regardless of whether a deal is reached with the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 23/04/2019 15:54:45 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
