Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to paragraph 7 of Chapter Four of the White Paper, The future relationship between the UK and the EU, Cm. 9593, published on 12 July 2018, what the arrangements are for ensuring that the UK's future relationship with the EU is adaptable and can change over time.

The UK has proposed joint institutional arrangements that provide for proper democratic accountability, which allow for the relationship to develop over time, managing cooperation effectively and enabling the UK and the EU to address issues as they arise.

As set out in Chapter 4, Paragraph 8 this proposal draws on precedents from other international agreements. The precise nature of these arrangements are subject to negotiation.
