answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2017 answer text <p>If the UK were to leave the EU without alternative trading arrangements in place, WTO rules would require that trade between the UK and the EU would be subject to Most-Favoured Nation (MFN) treatment for goods and services. The average amount of tariffs that would have to be paid would depend on MFN commitments. However, as the Prime Minister has said, we want to give British companies the maximum freedom to trade and operate in the European market – and let European businesses do the same here.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 18/01/2017 16:11:15 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
