Oral answer to question provided on Monday, 6 November 2017 in the House of Lords, by Lord Callanan (Conservative).


European Union

Answer

Yes. It is in our interests for the EU to do well and to succeed, but obviously it would be wrong of us to try to influence where its members might want to take the organisation in the future when we are no longer a member.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Monday, 6 November 2017 by Lord Anderson of Swansea (Labour).

Question

My Lords, would it not be somewhat impertinent of the Government to seek to influence an organisation from which they have pledged to withdraw their membership?
