Elizabeth Truss
I have been very clear with the House that we are preparing for all eventualities. Of course, looking at the specifics of those agencies is a part of that.
Mr David Jones (Clwyd West) (Con)
As my right hon. Friend pointed out, the Prime Minister made a fair and generous offer to the European Union in her Florence speech. Given that article 50 provides that the negotiations that are under way should take account of the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, does my right hon. Friend agree that it is high time that the European Union reciprocated and started adhering to its obligations under the treaty?
Elizabeth Truss
As my right hon. Friend points out, it is important that we move on to the next stage of the negotiations and talk about our long-term relationship with the European Union once we have left. That is exactly what we seek to do.
