UK Membership of EU

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the UK's membership of the European Union in comparison to membership of the European Economic Area.

Answer

The EU Referendum Act 2015 sets out the Government’s commitment to publish information about rights and obligations that arise under EU law as a result of the UK’s membership of the EU, and examples of countries that are not members of the EU, but have other arrangements with the EU. This information will be published at least 10 weeks before the referendum.
