tabling member printed	Lord Smith of Finsbury
uin	HL2086
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 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 As a matter of firm policy, our notification will not be withdrawn for the simple reason that people voted to leave.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 23/10/2017 11:48:51 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

It is not standard practice to provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work that is being carried out within government.</p><p>We are confident that a future partnership between the UK and EU is in the interests of both sides, so we approach these negotiations anticipating success. We do not want or expect a no deal outcome. However, a responsible government should prepare for all potential outcomes, including the unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 23/10/2017 11:51:01 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
