Lords ChamberThe former Secretary of State has set out his reasons, which noble Lords can read for themselves. I am happy that we will be continuing to leave the European Union on the terms that I set out earlier, and I look forward to playing my part in delivering the referendum result.

The difference is that we are allowed to set our own tariff schedules under the facilitated customs arrangement.
