We will use opportunities offered by our exit from the EU to carefully consider longer-term options for the UK's public procurement rules.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 12/11/2018 17:22:01 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
