Diana Johnson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Diana Johnson on 2016-10-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether the Government intends to (a) join the EU Customs Union, (b) negotiate a customs deal with the EU and (c) negotiate no customs deal as part of the process of the UK leaving the EU.

Mr Robin Walker

The Government has made clear we will pursue an exit deal that works for the unique circumstances of the UK.

There is no benefit to Britain in providing a running commentary on every twist and turn of these negotiations.
