European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill
"The referendum in Scotland a couple of years ago was lost by the SNP. We are one country, and this was a national referendum.
I wish to make three brief points. First, we must have meaningful parliamentary scrutiny of the process. We are debating the Bill only because the Supreme …..."Emma Reynolds - View Speech

Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to the Prime Minister's speech at Lancaster House on 17 January 2017, which EU member states (a) favour and (b) oppose guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens who are already living in the UK and the rights of British nationals in other EU member states.
Answered by David Jones
We are not going to provide a running commentary. The Prime Minister has been clear that she wants to guarantee the status of EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU as soon as possible.

Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what the rule of origin requirements would be for UK companies if the UK leaves the customs union.
Answered by David Jones
The Prime Minister has set out our intention to negotiate a new customs agreement with the EU. We have an open mind about the form of that agreement, but it is in both the UK and EU's interest to see tariff-free trade continue and for that cross-border trade to be as frictionless as possible.
Whether or how preferential Rules of Origin will apply will depend on the outcome of negotiations; and we will be aiming to minimise the impact of any additional customs procedures on goods trade between the UK and EU.

Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what estimate he has made of the potential cost to UK companies of (a) tariffs and (b) non-tariff barriers on exports if the UK leaves the customs union.
Answered by David Jones
It is in both the UK and EU's interest to see tariff-free trade and for that cross-border trade to be as frictionless as possible. We will pursue a bold and ambitious trade agreement with the EU and also a new customs agreement. We have an open mind on the form of any customs agreement.
The government is conducting a broad range of analysis at the macroeconomic and sectoral level to understand the impact of leaving the EU on all aspects of the UK. But we are not going to publish any assessment of the impacts of potential courses of action that could undermine the UK’s negotiating position.
