This will enable prosperity for both the UK and the EU, and allow us to protect our shared European values. We want to have reached agreement about our future partnership by the time the two year Article 50 process has ended, in March 2019. From that point, we believe a time-limited, phased process of implementation will be in our mutual interests, and will help to minimise disruption on both sides. The exact details of an implementation period will be a matter for negotiation.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 18/07/2017 12:52:04 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
