Written Question
Brexit
Thursday 11th February 2021

Asked by: Gareth Davies (Conservative - Grantham and Bourne)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

What recent discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the potential opportunities for the UK of leaving the EU.

Answered by Julia Lopez - Shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology

In line with the practice of successive administrations, details of internal discussions are not normally disclosed.

The Government is clear however that leaving the EU presents the UK with many opportunities. The Government has already established a new points-based immigration system to attract the brightest and best, new trade agreements, and a replacement of the bureaucratic Common Agricultural Policy. This Government will continue to maximise opportunities to support long-term economic growth and strengthen the UK’s global position.
