The UK's formal and informal relationship with the EU's decentralised bodies will depend on the negotiations in each area. Any analysis of the UK's intended relationship with these bodies would presuppose the UK's preferred outcome and red lines in the negotiation, and Parliament has voted repeatedly not to disclose material that could damage the United Kingdom’s position in its negotiations with the European Union.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 21/04/2017 09:24:40 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
