Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Philip Davies (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 10 April 2014 on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
High-growth Markets
- Question
-
Does the Minister agree that our future prosperity as a country depends on trading with China, India, south America and emerging economies in Africa—that is where all the future growth in the world economy will be—rather than being part of a backward-looking, inward-facing protection racket called the European Union?
- Answer
-
I do not wholly agree with my hon. Friend. There are high-growth opportunities the world over, but the single market to which our businesses have access through our membership of the European Union is still an important part of our trading relationships.
