answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2018 answer text <p>The UK economy is fundamentally strong, with a highly competitive digital economy. The UK will not participate in the EU's Digital Single Market post-exit, as a result of our departure from the Single Market. As the Prime Minister said in her Mansion House speech this is a fast-evolving sector. It will be important to have domestic flexibility, to ensure the regulatory environment can always respond nimbly and ambitiously to new developments.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is determined to ensure that the UK’s digital economy continues to be world leading and enables innovative UK companies to compete globally. The Government is seeking to agree a bold and ambitious Economic Partnership with the EU. There is no single model or analysis which can provide a definitive assessment of all potential outcomes. The Government is examining all areas of the UK economy and seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders in order to inform our negotiations with the EU.</p> answering member constituency Burton answering member printed Andrew Griffiths question first answered 26/04/2018 15:26:05 answering member 3936 label Biography information for Andrew Griffiths
