It is a matter of customary international law, by which the UK is bound, that unilateral termination is prohibited outside the terms of a treaty. The Withdrawal Agreement contains no provision regarding termination and therefore, once in force, the UK would not be able unilaterally to terminate it.<\/p>

The Department does not record expenditure or forecasts against potential outcomes. It records expenditure and forecasts on a functional basis.<\/p>
The Department will be fulfilling its objectives within our Spending Review settlement, which provides funding through to March 2020.<\/p>
Based on this, we are expecting to fulfill our Departmental objectives within our budget allocations up to March 2019 which totals £96m for 2018/19.<\/p>

Swift and effective data exchange is a vital component of modern law enforcement and criminal justice cooperation.<\/p>
As set out in the Political Declaration, the UK and EU have already agreed the need for a reciprocal exchange of fingerprints, DNA and vehicle registration data, delivered through the Prüm system.<\/p>
This capability, once fully implemented by the UK, will help bring criminals and terrorists to justice both in the UK and the EU.<\/p>
The exact nature of future cooperation on this form of data sharing will be determined by formal negotiations once the UK has left the EU on the 29th March 2019.<\/p>

The Northern Ireland Protocol to the Withdrawal Agreement, at Article 13, contains a commitment that the UK and the EU will respectively maintain the necessary conditions for North-South cooperation following the UK\u2019s withdrawal from the EU. This includes tourism, which is a formal area of cooperation agreed by the North-South Ministerial Council (NSMC) under Strand II of the Belfast Agreement.<\/p>
The Attorney-General\u2019s legal commentary on the Agreement made clear that Article 13 does not alter the remit or functions of the NSMC or the North-South Implementation bodies, nor does it alter arrangements under Strand II of the 1998 Agreement in any way. The Protocol acknowledges that the UK and Ireland may continue to make new arrangements that build on the provisions of the 1998 Agreement in other areas of North-South cooperation on the island of Ireland. In accordance with the position set out in the recitals, the functions and safeguards of the Assembly and the NSMC (including cross-community provisions) will be respected in full.<\/p>
Thus the Protocol and its recitals recognise that any new arrangements - whether expansion or diminution in areas of cooperation - are a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive and Irish Government alone, through the NSMC. The status, functions, and remit of Tourism NI and Tourism Ireland are completely unaffected.<\/p>
It is important also to note that the Article also does not require any application of EU law in Northern Ireland. It is therefore exempt from the specific EU supervision and enforcement provisions set out in the Protocol. Cooperation will remain a matter for two sovereign jurisdictions on the island of Ireland to decide in accordance with the respective legal regimes.<\/p>
The most significant effect of the Withdrawal Agreement in relation to tourism is to ensure that, under the Common Travel Area arrangements, individuals can continue to travel freely between the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland, and Ireland.<\/p>

In our July 2018 White Paper we set out our ambition to explore continued participation in European Reference Networks as part of a future agreement on science and innovation.<\/p>
Since then we have made progress in negotiations with the EU. The publication of the Political Declaration in November was a significant milestone, and outlined a clear vision for our future relationship with the EU, including cooperation on areas of shared interest such as science and innovation. The Withdrawal Agreement was also published in November and both documents were endorsed by EU Member States at the special European Council on Sunday 25 November. This provided clarity to industry on the terms of our implementation period, during which UK healthcare providers would be able to continue participating in European Reference Networks.<\/p>
The UK would like to explore participation in European Reference Networks beyond 2020 as part of detailed negotiations on our future relationship. We believe that the UK\u2019s continued participation in these networks benefits citizens, researchers and patients across the UK and the EU, and we look forward to discussing this with the EU.<\/p>

The Secretary of State has not visited the Port of Dover during his time in position. Ministers in the Department for Exiting the EU with responsibility for ports visited the Port of Dover twice this year. Former Minister Suella Braverman on the 14th May and Minister Chris Heaton-Harris on the 24th August. I refer the Hon Member to the paper \u2018EU exit: Long-term economic analysis\u2019 (Cm 9741) laid before Parliament on Wednesday 28 November 2018.<\/p>
DExEU ministers have visited 19 ports to date as part of a wider programme of engagement carried out by other Government ministers and officials to ports around the United Kingdom. Ministers from across Government have also carried out extensive engagement on EU exit with businesses and industry bodies from all sectors of the economy, including ports and the maritime industry, and will continue to do so.
