A no deal outcome is not sought or expected. However, a responsible government should prepare for all potential outcomes, including the unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached. Plans have been developed and designed to provide flexibility to respond to a negotiated agreement as well as preparing us if we leave without a deal.</p><p>So the Government is working with businesses across the economy to provide the information they need to understand the challenges and opportunities they may face in the coming months and years.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 17/01/2018 15:49:04 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>The UK Government is proposing a unique and ambitious partnership based on our rules and regulation as being the same as the European Union’s at the start, maintaining our commitment to free trade and high standards – while allowing for us both to make changes where we want to, in a stable and orderly way. In part this is because we recognise that an alternative approach, such as a Norway-style agreement, would mean the UK having to adopt at home, automatically and in their entirety, new EU rules, over which in future we would have little influence and no vote.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 29/01/2018 16:00:58 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
