We recognise the important role that UK Notified Bodies play in ensuring that products that enter the UK and EU markets are safe and conform to relevant requirements and assessments.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have reached agreement with the EU on the terms of an implementation period, during which market access will continue on current terms. This means that businesses will be able to operate with the same certificates as now up until the end of this period, including those issued by UK Notified Bodies.<\/p>
<\/p>
Regarding our future partnership with the EU, we want to ensure that UK companies have the maximum freedom to trade with European markets. We continue to engage with UK stakeholders to understand and represent their concerns as we develop our negotiating position.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3936", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Griffiths"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Burton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Griffiths"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-09T16:34:00.03Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Exports: Standards"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether UK exporters of industrial products within the EU that currently rely on conformity assessments carried out by a UK Notified Body will (a) be required to apply for new certificates issued by an EU27 Notified Body after the UK has exited the EU and (b) be provided with UK Government support to manage the effect on their business caused by changes to conformity assessment procedures when exporting to the EU after the UK leaves the EU.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4402", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Douglas Chapman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Dunfermline and West Fife"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Douglas Chapman"} ], "uin" : "140139"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/897182", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/897182/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The subsistence rates paid to adult potential victims of modern slavery who live in safe houses where food is provided is £35 per week, and is £65 per week for those who live in self-catered accommodation. Adults who have dependents in safe houses receive £20.50 per week for the first child, and £13.55 for each additional child.<\/p>
If an adult is an asylum seeker, under the Asylum Support Regulations, if they are accessing section 95 support, their income is restricted to £37.75 per week regardless of where they live. Most asylum seeking potential victims of modern slavery do not live in safe houses, but live in asylum support accommodation, and therefore receive outreach support.<\/p>
Alongside financial support, potential victims of modern slavery in the National Referral Mechanism receive dedicated and expert support, which is tailored to their unique needs as victims of modern slavery. This includes access to legal aid, counselling, NHS medical and dental services.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4399", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Victoria Atkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Louth and Horncastle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Victoria Atkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-10T12:24:30.19Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Slavery"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the subsistence rates are for victims of modern slavery supported by the National Referral Mechanism living in (a) accommodation in a safe house with food provided and (b) a safe house where they purchase their own food; and how many of such people (i) have applied for asylum and (ii) are receiving outreach support.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/360", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Coaker"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gedling"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Vernon Coaker"} ], "uin" : "140986"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/897190", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/897190/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
