The UK remains concerned about the current trade tensions and shares the assessment that global growth could be adversely affected by these tensions. The UK is engaging with partners across the globe to seek a resolution. We are clear that nobody benefits from trade wars.<\/p>

The EHRC has submitted this report to the United Nations as part of its work on monitoring the Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women.<\/p>
The Government is firmly committed to tackling the major injustices across Great Britain that hold women back, including eliminating violence against women and girls and closing the gender pay gap. We have already made significant progress on safeguarding and improving women\u2019s rights.<\/p>
The draft EU Withdrawal Agreement, once finalised and agreed will allow the UK to continue participation in EU programmes until their closure, including the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Fund, which promotes non-discrimination, combats racism, xenophobia, homophobia and other forms of intolerance as well as promoting rights and equality.<\/p>
This Government has already made a clear commitment to protect workers\u2019 rights, and ensure that they keep pace with the changing labour market, including in our recent white paper on the future relationship between the UK and the EU. We do not need to be part of the EU to have strong protections in the workplace. The UK already goes beyond EU minimum standards in a number of areas, such as entitlement to annual leave, paid maternity leave and parental leave.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4311", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Williams of Trafford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-08-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-08-07T12:10:57.797Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "31"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Women and Equalities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Women and Equalities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Women's Rights"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of a report from the Equality and Human Rights Commission which suggests that women\u2019s rights, including employment protection rights and funding for women\u2019s services, may be threatened by Brexit.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1796", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Taylor of Warwick"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Taylor of Warwick"} ], "uin" : "HL9813"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/947124", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Exiting the European Union "} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/947124/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
In its White Paper the Government is advancing a detailed proposal for a principled and practical Brexit, including in financial services.<\/p>
<\/p>
The UK proposes a new economic and regulatory arrangement with the EU in financial services. This would maintain the economic benefits of cross-border provision of the most important international financial services traded between the UK and the EU.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have also listened to the other side\u2019s concerns and understand the need for a new and fair balance in our rights and obligations in relation to financial services. As such, our proposal recognises the EU\u2019s desire to have control over its own decision making but it also reflects the deeply integrated nature of UK and EU financial markets.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have suggested how this could be done, by setting out that the new arrangement should include provisions for:<\/p>
common principles for the governance of the relationship;<\/p><\/li>
extensive supervisory cooperation and regulatory dialogue; and<\/p><\/li>
predictable, transparent and robust processes.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
<\/p>
We believe this proposal is the best option for getting a good deal for both the EU and the UK, and we look forward to discussing it with them.<\/p>
