answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2018 answer text <p>The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will retain EU law as it applies in the UK on exit day. We expect between 800 and 1000 statutory instruments will be required across Government to correct this retained EU law to ensure the statute book functions appropriately outside the EU. All Departments are engaged in this process. Once we leave the EU, we will make our own laws. As we leave the EU, the Government's EU exit legislative programme is designed to cater for the full range of negotiated and non-negotiated outcomes.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 10/01/2018 17:15:22 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p>Our officials have had a number of discussions with the Government of St Lucia about delays in the criminal justice system, particularly in relation to cases involving British nationals. In December last year, our High Commissioner to St Lucia raised the issue with the St Lucian Home Affairs Minister and in April 2014, the British Resident Commissioner raised the issue with the St Lucian Prime Minister. I also wrote to the Prime Minister of St Lucia in September about the delays in the criminal justice system.</p><p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office supports wider government efforts to build the St Lucian Government's capacity to prosecute serious crime. This includes the deployment of a Crown Prosecution Service Criminal Justice Advisor (CJA) to the Eastern Caribbean. The CJA provides strategic analysis and advice to politicians and practitioners (judiciary, prosecutors and investigators) in order to improve the efficiency of the justice system and remove blockages to effective prosecutions.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Mark Simmonds question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1393 label Biography information for Mark Simmonds
