answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>After a period of sustained public debate, a clear majority of the electorate voted to leave the EU in June 2016 with the highest number of votes cast for anything in UK electoral history. We must respect both the will of the British people, and the democratic process which delivered this result. As such, it is a matter of Government policy that there will not be a second referendum on our exit from the EU.</p><p /> <p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 13/12/2018 13:39:15 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

uin	HL2367
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2017 answer text <p>We have been clear that, once we leave the EU, we will not be required to pay vast contributions to the EU budget. However, as we move forward, we will also want to continue working together in ways that promote the long-term economic development of our continent. This will include continuing to take part in those specific policies and programmes which are greatly to the UK and the EU’s joint advantage, such as those that promote science, education and culture – and those that promote our mutual security.</p><p>As the Prime Minister reaffirmed in her Florence speech, in doing so, we would want to make an ongoing contribution to cover our fair share of the costs involved. We hope to have a full and open discussion with the EU about all of the options for collaboration as part of the negotiations on our future partnership.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 02/11/2017 17:21:52 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

uin	HL1047
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2017 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 As a matter of firm policy, our notification will not be withdrawn - for the simple reason that people voted to leave.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 31/07/2017 13:40:34 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
