This analysis found that under the modelled White Paper scenario there may be a very small effect on the economy over a long period of time, with Welsh GVA estimated to be 0.1% lower compared to today’s arrangements.</p><p>This estimate does not include impact of domestic policies such as our Modern Industrial Strategy and the opportunities arising from additional regulatory flexibility, and these domestic policies can drive growth and productivity in Wales going forwards.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 05/06/2019 09:55:36 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>The UK has been invited to accede to the Common Transit Convention (CTC) as a contracting party when it leaves the EU. If the UK is outside the EU customs union it will have to carry out the office of transit function on transit movements entering the UK from the EU and other countries. Many existing UK ports and airports have existing facilities for transit movements, including carrying out the office of transit function. These offices will continue to operate, and HMRC and Border Force are working to ensure they will be able to meet the increased demand that will result from EU exit.</p><p> </p><p>At three high volume locations the UK has agreed a different arrangement with the other parties to the CTC. Under this agreement the office of transit function will not be a physical location, but will be carried out digitally.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/06/2019 11:10:20 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2019 answer text <p>As set out in the Sovereign Grant Act 2011, the Sovereign Grant is set by reference to the revenue of The Crown Estate. In exchange for the Sovereign Grant, The Queen surrenders the revenue from The Crown Estate to the government, which in 2018-19 was £343.5 million, and over the last ten years has resulted in an over £2.8 billion contribution to supporting our vital public services. The Sovereign Grant for 2019-20 is £82.4 million.</p><p> </p><p>Under Section 8 of the Sovereign Grant Act, HM Treasury can vary by order the percentage for the Sovereign Grant where the Royal Trustees consider that the current percentage is not appropriate. Following the 2016 Report of the Royal Trustees on the Sovereign Grant Review, in 2017 the percentage was increased from 15% to 25% in order to enable substantial works to reservice Buckingham Palace, to ensure that the Palace can continue to be able to support the Sovereign in the performance of Her official duties. This report set out in detail that Buckingham Palace’s infrastructure urgently needed a major overhaul to avoid the very real danger of catastrophic failure leading to fire or flood. The reservicing will be a ten year programme, at a total cost of £369 million.</p><p> </p><p>The report is available on the gov.uk website at:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/report-of-the-royal-trustees-on-the-sovereign-grant-review-2016</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 01/07/2019 14:12:37 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
