Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Draft Political Declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, published on 22 November, whether the reciprocal arrangements on the future rules around some defined elements of social security coordination will include UK access to the A1 system exempting UK orchestras touring in European Union countries from paying social security contributions in those countries.

The details of which aspects of social security will be coordinated with the EU under the future relationship will be subject to negotiation with the EU.
