UK Relations with EU

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing an independent inquiry into options for the future UK-EU relationship.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

The Government was elected on the basis of a manifesto commitment to reset the UK’s relations with the European Union, including through a broad-based security pact and tackling barriers to trade. There are no plans to establish an independent inquiry into options for the future UK-EU relationship. As we move forward, we recognise the importance of maintaining an effective dialogue with Parliament, industry leaders, trade unions and civil society.
