UK Trade with EU
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Minister for the Cabinet Office on 23 June (HC10645), whether their position that there will be no return to the European Union Customs Union includes a policy of not joining the Customs Union in part for certain goods or services.
- Answer
-
This government remains committed to reducing barriers to trade and cutting red-tape with our largest trading partner, and this is why we’re negotiating a food and drink deal and linking our emissions trading systems. However, the government’s red lines are clear: there will be no return to the Single Market or the Customs Union.
