We want the best possible arrangement for trade in goods and services with the EU, and are considering how our legislation can facilitate that. We are not going to speculate on what that looks like at this stage. We aren’t seeking to replicate any other model: we want a bespoke approach, which works for the UK, and the UK will seek to maintain its position as a global leader in product development, consumer rights and environmental protection as we leave the EU.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 30/11/2016 17:30:38 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
