Any gift (eg jewellery) or benefit (eg hospitality, services) that you receive, if the gift or benefit in any way relates to or arises from your work in Parliament and its value exceeds £385 in the course of a calendar year.’ In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname.

  • No Deal Brexit and the Union
    No Deal Brexit and the Union Image area Image to come to top of picture box Akash Paun | Jess Sargeant James Wilson | Joe Owen About this report This report considers the potential implications for devolution and the Union of leaving the EU without a deal. It looks at how the UK government and devolved administrations have prepared for a no deal Brexit, what issues they will need to manage in the aftermath, and how long-term risks to the Union can be mitigated. Find out more: www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/ publications/no-deal-brexit-union @instituteforgov #IFGDevo October 2019 NO-DEAL BREXIT AND THE UNION Contents List of figures and tables 3 Summary 4 1.

Mitigating the risks to the Union 27 References 38 List of figures Figure 1: Changing attitudes in Northern Ireland 28 3 Summary Brexit has put a strain on relations between the nations of the UK. A no deal departure from the EU could take it to breaking point. The Scottish and Welsh governments have felt increasingly side-lined since 2016 and, aside from the DUP, voices from Northern Ireland have been unrepresented in the Brexit process. While the devolved administrations have been vocal in their opposition to leaving the EU without a deal, the UK government has committed to leaving the EU on the 31 October “come what may”. This runs counter to the prime minister’s commitment to strengthen the Union Preparing for no deal • The UK government and the devolved administrations have undertaken substantial work to prepare for no deal and mitigate any negative effects.
