	tabling member printed	Lord Livermore
	uin	HL15845
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>The Government remains focused on ensuring a smooth and orderly withdrawal from the EU with a deal as soon as possible.</p><p>In November 2018, the Government delivered on its commitment to provide appropriate analysis to Parliament with a robust, objective assessment of how exiting the EU may affect the economy of the UK across different EU exit scenarios. The no deal scenario is based on an assessment of the average trade barriers that a country trading on WTO terms faces. Whilst all economic modelling is inherently uncertain, the increase in trade barriers under the modelled no deal scenario is estimated to result in lower UK-EU trade volumes in the long run compared to today's arrangements; (1) UK imports from the EU are estimated to be between 34-43% lower and (2) UK exports to the EU are estimated to be between 30-40% lower.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 04/06/2019 11:02:46 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

We have also agreed that there is a relationship between the UK’s commitments and checks and controls required between the UK and EU, which may lead to a spectrum of outcomes, but that both the UK and EU wish to be as ambitious as possible in establishing a future partnership. Both the UK and EU are clear that whatever is agreed in the future partnership must recognise the development of an independent UK trade policy beyond our economic partnership with the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 19/02/2019 13:21:52 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
