Written Question
EURATOM
Monday 23rd April 2018

Asked by: Jeremy Lefroy (Conservative - Stafford)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what recent steps the Government has taken to secure a formal agreement with Euratom after the UK leaves the EU and the expiry of the implementation period.

Answered by Robin Walker

The Government has been clear that we want the broadest and deepest possible future partnership – covering more sectors and co-operating more fully than any Free Trade Agreement anywhere in the world today. In particular, as confirmed in the Prime Minister’s Mansion House speech, the Government will seek a close association with Euratom. We are pleased that the March European Council agreed guidelines for the next stage of negotiations on this future relationship.

Written Question
Health Services: Reciprocal Arrangements
Wednesday 18th April 2018

Asked by: Jeremy Lefroy (Conservative - Stafford)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what progress the Government is making in negotiations with the European Union on reciprocal arrangements for health care in the UK and the EU after the (a) UK leaves the EU and (b) expiry of the implementation period.

Answered by Robin Walker

The current structure of EU rules and regulations will apply until the end of the implementation period and this includes reciprocal healthcare arrangements.

The UK and the EU have also agreed on reciprocal healthcare arrangements for the purposes of the Withdrawal Agreement. After the implementation period ends, those who fall within scope of that agreement for social security coordination purposes will be entitled to reciprocal healthcare cover on the terms laid out under that deal.

Reciprocal healthcare rights for individuals not in scope of the Withdrawal Agreement will be a matter for further negotiation with the EU.

At every step of the negotiations we will work to ensure the best possible outcome for the British people.

Written Question
Professions: Qualifications
Wednesday 18th April 2018

Asked by: Jeremy Lefroy (Conservative - Stafford)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what progress the Government is making in securing the maintenance of mutual recognition of professional qualifications after the UK leaves the EU and the expiry of the implementation period.

Answered by Robin Walker

As the Prime Minister said in her Mansion House speech, the UK is committed to securing a continued system for the mutual recognition of professional qualifications as part of a bold and ambitious future economic partnership with the EU.

The UK has agreed with the EU the continued recognition of qualifications for residents and frontier workers, where recognition decisions were received or where recognition decisions were ongoing before the end of the implementation period. This will cover qualifications recognised under the MRPQ Directive, lawyers practising under host title and approved statutory auditors.

The March European Council agreed guidelines for negotiations on our future relationship, referencing the desire of the EU27 to include ambitious provisions on the recognition of qualifications. This is a useful starting point for the next stage of negotiations on the future economic partnership.
