The White Paper confirms that the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill will:

• be the primary means by which the rights of EU citizens will be protected in UK law;
• legislate for the time-limited implementation period; and
• create a financial authority to manage the specific payments to be made under the financial settlement, with appropriate Parliamentary oversight
