answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2017 answer text <p>As the Prime Minister made clear, the UK does not seek membership of the EU’s Single Market after we leave the EU, but rather a bold and ambitious FTA as part of a new, deep and special partnership. The deeply integrated nature of trade, both domestically between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, and across the land border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, highlights why the UK is prioritising finding a solution that protects businesses’ ability to access these markets and avoid a return to a hard border.</p><p>In our position paper on Northern Ireland and Ireland we have put forward our key principles for delivering our shared objective for a seamless and frictionless land border. We are committed to working with the EU to find a creative solution that recognises the particular economic, social and cultural context of the land border with Ireland that allows current trade and everyday movements across the border to continue as they do today.</p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 14/09/2017 14:03:15 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker
