The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of establishing a customs union with the EU on the cyber security sector in Cheltenham.

Answered by James Murray

No. The Government is working with the EU to identify areas where we can strengthen cooperation for mutual benefit, such as the economy, energy, security and resilience. But we have been clear that there will be no return to the customs union.
