Lord Taylor of Warwick – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Taylor of Warwick on 2016-02-09.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they plan to take to increase business confidence, in the light of uncertainty regarding the global economy and the EU referendum.

Baroness Neville-Rolfe

At the February European Council the Government negotiated a new settlement, giving the United Kingdom a special status in a reformed European Union.

As part of these negotiations, we secured a firm commitment to drive an ambitious agenda of economic reform within the EU to help unleash the full potential of the Single Market and create growth and jobs.

The Government’s view is that the UK will be stronger, safer and better off remaining in a reformed EU.
