answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>The government has outlined our aspiration to negotiate an agreement with the European Union on our future economic partnership that will include a UK-EU free trade area for goods, and a comprehensive package for services. We will also seek to negotiate a mobility framework with the EU that supports businesses to provide services, and allows people to travel freely without a visa for tourism and temporary business activity. Subject to the negotiations, we expect these measures to minimise barriers to UK businesses, including sports organisations such as British Rowing, in trading and working with their counterparts in the EU after we leave.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 19/11/2018 17:15:42 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
