answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2019 answer text <p>It remains government policy to secure a deal with the EU but, in the event of a no deal, trade with the EU will become subject to customs controls as is the case now for trade with the rest of the world.</p><p> </p><p>Businesses will need to consider, based on their own circumstances, how they want to engage with the customs system in the future.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government is undertaking a wide range of analysis and preparatory work to support our EU exit negotiations and preparations. However, it is not standard practice to provide an ongoing commentary on internal analysis.</p><p> </p><p>Ministers have a specific responsibility, which Parliament has endorsed, not to release information that would undermine our negotiating position.</p><p> </p><p>The analysis recently published by the Commons Exiting the EU Committee does not represent Government policy. It is an information gathering exercise, there to test ideas. It is analysis of existing trade relationships - none of which is the outcome we are working towards.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 27/03/2018 14:02:55 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the comments made by Robert Chote, Chairman of the Office for Budget Responsibility, in the New Statesman on 24 January, that most of the work that trade economists have done shows that the costs of leaving the single market and the customs union are greater than the benefits.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is an independent fiscal institution. Robert Chote’s comments in the New Statesman relate to an OBR judgement set out in their November 2017 Economic and Fiscal Outlook. The Government adopts the OBR’s independent forecasts as the official forecasts for the UK and as such, it would not be appropriate for the Government to comment on Robert Chote’s comments.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 06/03/2018 12:49:28 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
