The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to publish a Regulatory Impact Assessment for the measures contained in the (a) UK-EU Summit - Common Understanding and (b) UK-EU Security and Defence Partnership.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

The Common Understanding between the UK and the EU sets out the results of exploratory discussions and a new agenda for cooperation. The UK and the EU have agreed to take forward these commitments swiftly through technical negotiations. The government will follow normal processes for any necessary legislative changes.

No legislative changes are currently proposed as a result of the Security and Defence Partnership.
