	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>The 2016 referendum delivered a clear instruction to withdraw from the European Union, which the Government is committed to implementing. 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 in the long run (circa 15 years). The analysis considers a range of scenarios, including a no deal scenario. All scenarios are compared to today’s arrangements, but this is not a specific projection of future membership of the EU; the future direction of EU policy is uncertain, and could have both positive and negative impacts on the UK economy. Whilst all economic modelling is inherently uncertain, the analysis shows that compared to today’s arrangements, GDP in the modelled no deal scenario is estimated to be between 6.3% and 9% lower in the long run.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 04/06/2019 11:03:33 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

The arrangements that apply to UK hauliers once the UK leaves the European Union will depend on the withdrawal deal we negotiate. The Government has introduced the Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill, to provide a flexible framework for any system that may be is needed as part of our deal with the EU. We are confident that any such arrangement will cover all EU countries.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 06/03/2018 13:40:33 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
