Douglas Carswell – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Douglas Carswell on 2015-10-20.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many officials in his Department are engaged in planning steps to secure trade and other beneficial economic exchanges in the event of a vote to leave the EU.

Mr David Gauke

The Government is focused on delivering a successful renegotiation: it believes it can and will succeed in reforming and renegotiating our relationship with the EU and campaigning to keep the UK in the EU on that basis. Departments are appropriately resourced to support the Government’s priorities in Europe.
