	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK has been clear that it is committed to establishing a far-reaching science and innovation accord with the EU. Two rounds of initial discussions have taken place with the Article 50 Task Force on science and innovation, the first on 22 May and the second on 7 June. Both sets of discussions were constructive, demonstrating a strong case for continued collaboration in this area.</p><p>This science and innovation accord will be underpinned by the UK’s wider agreements with the EU, including those on data sharing and protection. As we set out in our July 2018 White Paper, we are looking for an agreement with the EU that provides for the continued exchange of personal data between the UK and the EU with strong privacy protections for citizens.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 05/11/2018 14:22:12 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The original proposals put forward by the EU are ones we cannot accept. It would mean creating a customs border down the Irish sea and breaking the integrity of the UK. The proposals we have put forward for our future economic relationship would allow both sides to meet our commitments to the people of Northern Ireland in full. We are working hard to get a deal on that basis. While we remain committed to resolving the Northern Ireland border through our overall economic relationship, the backstop is a critical issue, and we stand by all our commitments including the safeguarding of the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 05/11/2018 14:26:02 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
