answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2016 answer text <p>We need a UK approach and clear objectives for negotiations. It’s in everyone’s interests that we establish that before we trigger Article 50. The process for leaving the EU and determining our future relationship will clearly not be brief or straightforward, so we need to take time to think through our objectives and approach. We want to get the best deal for Britain, not the quickest one.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 05/09/2016 15:37:40 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
