The government is undertaking a comprehensive programme of analytical work to assess, across a range of scenarios, the economic impacts of exiting the European Union. However, and as the House of Commons agreed in October and December 2016, it would not be appropriate to publish any such information that could damage our negotiating position.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 19/09/2017 12:38:52 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have estimated the financial impact on taxpayers of setting a new streamlined customs arrangement once the UK has left the EU; if so, when they expect that impact to manifest; and how long they estimate it will take to put in place the new arrangements.

	uin	HL1324
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>The government has undertaken a significant amount of work to assess the economic impacts of both approaches highlighted in the recent Future Customs Arrangements paper, but parliament has voted not to disclose material that could damage the United Kingdom’s position in its negotiations with the European Union. When assessing all options for the UK’s future relationship with the EU, the government will be guided by what delivers the greatest economic advantage to the UK.</p><p>The precise nature of a new streamlined customs arrangement, including implementation time, will be determined through negotiations. As set out in the Government's paper in August, the government believes that a model of close association with the EU Customs Union for a time-limited interim period would help both sides to minimise unnecessary disruption and allow for a smooth and orderly transition to any new arrangement.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 19/09/2017 12:44:46 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
