The Prime Minister
I am asked why I gave a speech about our future relationship with Europe on mainland Europe. I do not need to give any answer to that.
Mr Marcus Fysh (Yeovil) (Con)
Will my right hon. Friend confirm that her concept of an implementation phase will only be enacted if firm plans and a schedule for implementation of permanent new arrangements between the EU and UK have already been agreed?
The Prime Minister
Yes. It is very simple: the implementation phase is a period for practical changes to be put in place. We cannot know what those practical changes are until we know the end state that we are driving towards. Having agreed on that end state and that future relationship, the period of implementation is purely to put the practicalities in place.
