	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>A clear majority of the electorate voted to leave the EU and we will respect the will of the British people. This was reinforced by the fact that in the last general election over eighty percent voted for parties committed to respecting the outcome of the referendum. There can be no attempts to remain inside the EU and no attempt to rejoin it. There is no precedent for a country triggering Article 50, let alone seeking to reverse such a decision. As a matter of firm policy, our notification will not be withdrawn for the simple reason that people voted to leave. And we are determined to see through that instruction.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 23/10/2017 11:48:51 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	uin	HL1586
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>A future partnership between the UK and EU is in the interests of both sides, and we have entered into the negotiations anticipating success. However, since the result of the referendum, we have taken the responsible approach to work at pace to build a detailed understanding of how withdrawing from the EU will affect policies and services for a range of outcomes, including the unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached.</p><p>Given the long lead-in times to implement some of our contingency measures, we need to begin now for them to remain viable. But implementing the first stages of contingency plans now should not be interpreted as an expectation that talks with the EU will not be successful, and we are clear that securing a good deal for both sides is by far and away the highest probability, but we have a duty to plan for the alternative. These are the actions of a responsible government determined to ensure a smooth exit under any eventuality.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 19/09/2017 14:17:20 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have estimated the financial impact on taxpayers of setting a new streamlined customs arrangement once the UK has left the EU; if so, when they expect that impact to manifest; and how long they estimate it will take to put in place the new arrangements.
	tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
	uin	HL1324
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>The government has undertaken a significant amount of work to assess the economic impacts of both approaches highlighted in the recent Future Customs Arrangements paper, but parliament has voted not to disclose material that could damage the United Kingdom’s position in its negotiations with the European Union. When assessing all options for the UK’s future relationship with the EU, the government will be guided by what delivers the greatest economic advantage to the UK.</p><p>The precise nature of a new streamlined customs arrangement, including implementation time, will be determined through negotiations. As set out in the Government's paper in August, the government believes that a model of close association with the EU Customs Union for a time-limited interim period would help both sides to minimise unnecessary disruption and allow for a smooth and orderly transition to any new arrangement.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 19/09/2017 12:44:46 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
