Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Robin Walker and Matt Warman

Thursday 14th June 2018 Commons Chamber

That does not mean full regulatory alignment across all areas; it means specific areas relating to agriculture and industrial goods that could otherwise result in tax at the border. We were clear in our presentations to the EU that there is further discussion to be had on that.
