We have agreed in principle the terms of the UK\u2019s smooth and orderly exit from the EU, as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement. While the chances of no deal have been reduced considerably, the government will continue to do the responsible thing and prepare for all eventualities, in case a final agreement cannot be reached. We have been clear from the start that the Devolved Administrations should be fully engaged in this process, as close cooperation between UK Government and the Devolved Administrations is essential to delivering an exit that works for all parts of the UK. The Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) and the Cabinet Office continue to work closely with the Scottish Government and other UK Government departments to prepare for Exit.<\/p>

UK Government departments have developed a wide number of plans to resolve operational issues in all scenarios across the whole of the UK, including Scotland, and are working closely with their counterparts in the Scottish Government as these plans develop.<\/p>

The Johnston Press Pension Plan is currently in the Pension Protection Fund\u2019s (PPF) assessment period, where it will be assessed whether the scheme\u2019s funding level is sufficient to secure pensions to its members at least equal to the level of compensation the PPF would pay. If the scheme\u2019s funding is not sufficient, then it will transfer into the PPF and compensation will be paid at 100 per cent for individuals over their scheme\u2019s retirement age at the date of the insolvency, and 90 per cent of the member\u2019s accrued benefits, subject to an overall cap for everyone else.

The Vulnerable Children\u2019s Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) resettles \u2019at-risk\u2019 refugee children from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, including their families. Our aim is to resettle up to 3,000 people (children and families, where the child at risk is part of a family unit) through the scheme by 2020.<\/p>

The scheme does not solely target unaccompanied children, but on UNHCR\u2019s advice also extends to vulnerable \u2018children at risk\u2019, such as those threatened with child labour, child marriage and other forms of abuse or exploitation. It is open to all at risk groups and nationalities within the region.<\/p>

The scheme, which is the largest resettlement effort aimed specifically at children at risk from the MENA region, is in addition to the Government\u2019s commitment to resettle 20,000 refugees from Syria under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS).<\/p>

In October 2017 the Government published revised air navigation guidance to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the aviation industry. This guidance requires airspace change sponsors to consult with those who may be affected including airspace users and communities and to take their views into account when finalising their proposals.<\/p>

<\/p>

A key requirement in the guidance is the need for sponsors following the Air Navigation Guidance 2017 to carry out a full assessment of the airspace options they are considering. This assessment takes into account the health effects of the proposals.<\/p>

<\/p>

Under the new CAA airspace change process (CAP 1616) all relevant information is published on the CAA website. For proposals being considered under the old CAP 725 process, we have asked the CAA to ensure that the final proposals submitted to it for approval are also published on its website.<\/p>
