The Government will make decisions on participation in specific programmes in light of these negotiations and wider UK priorities. Where the UK does participate, the Political Declaration sets out that it should do so on the basis of a set of agreed terms and conditions. These terms ensure that the UK will make a fair and appropriate financial contribution, UK participants will be treated fairly, and that the UK will be included in management and consultation of the programme reflecting the level of UK involvement. Both sides will be able to ensure that programme funding is managed properly.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 06/12/2018 17:00:15 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

In future, it will be for the UK Government and Parliament to determine the domestic immigration rules that will apply. The White Paper The UK’s future skills-based immigration system sets out the foundation for a single immigration system, where it is workers’ skills that matter, not where they come from. In line with the Migration Advisory Committee’s recommendation, we will focus on the highly skilled, and prioritise those migrants who bring most benefit to the UK to maximise the benefits of immigration. This represents a sensible, balanced package which will support the economy and enable us to take control of immigration.The Home Office is launching a year-long engagement process to enable businesses and other stakeholders to shape the details of policy and processes.</p><p>Recognising the depth of the UK-EU relationship, the UK has made a sovereign choice to seek reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU in a defined number of areas, for example to allow business professionals to move to provide services, or tourists to continue to travel visa-free. This is reflected in the political declaration on our future relationship and the detail will be discussed in the next phase of negotiations. Our future immigration system will be flexible to incorporate any mobility arrangements from trade deals we do around the world, including with the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 07/01/2019 16:56:00 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

Hon. Friend Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced unprecedented support for business and workers to protect them against the current economic emergency. These measures include the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS), and Bounce Back Loan Scheme, which are designed to help businesses across the UK impacted by the coronavirus crisis to access funding they need and the Self-Employed income support scheme. Guidance on all these schemes can be found on the Government website.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, to help firms to continue to keep people in employment, the Government has introduced the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. The scheme has protected over 7 million workers and almost 1 million businesses so far through this crisis. This scheme has been extended in full until end July 2020 and after July we will introduce more flexibility to the furlough scheme so that we move out of it in a measured way that protects people’s incomes and helps support furloughed employees as they return to work. This will run for three months from August through to the end of October.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that some firms will be affected longer than others by Coronavirus. Through this period, the Government will continue to monitor developments in the public health and wider economic situation, and engage with affected sectors, to ensure that the support provided is right for these sectors and for the economy as a whole.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 27/05/2020 14:01:58 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

This includes agreement to any reduction in pay.</p><p>In order to be eligible for the scheme, employers must confirm in writing to their employee that they have been furloughed. If this is done in a way that is consistent with employment law, that consent is valid for the purposes of claiming through the scheme. Collective agreement reached between an employer and a trade union is also acceptable for the purpose of such a claim. There needs to be a written record, but the employee does not have to provide a written response. A record of this communication must be kept for five years.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 28/05/2020 11:54:34 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
