<p>We have reached a fair financial settlement with the EU, honouring commitments
we made during our period of membership, and have ensured a fair deal for UK taxpayers.
The Withdrawal Agreement gives the UK audit rights with respect to the implementation
of the financial provisions of the withdrawal agreement, including, contingent liabilities.
On the UK’s request, the EU will provide these auditors with information and assistance
to allow them to assure the implementation of the financial settlement. The application
of these rights will be a significant source of assurance for Parliament in respect
of payments under the financial settlement.</p>
