The funding choices we take after exiting the EU will be based on the UK’s domestic priorities and will also be affected by the then economic environment and the fiscal position. We are determined to secure the very best deal we can for households and businesses in these negotiations and to seize the opportunities ahead by laying the foundations of a stronger, fairer Britain outside the EU.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 30/11/2017 16:42:39 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
