Written Question
Brexit
Thursday 24th January 2019

Asked by: Ruth George (Labour - High Peak)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if he will list in full the UK's (a) financial and (b) legal obligations to the EU in the event of the UK leaving the EU.

Answered by Robin Walker

The Withdrawal Agreement establishes the terms of the UK’s departure from the EU, settling the UK’s financial and legal rights and obligations on withdrawal and providing an orderly transition to the future relationship. The Government has set out a reasonable central estimate of the financial settlement in the Withdrawal Agreement of £35bn to £39bn, which the 20 April 2018 National Audit Office report ‘Exiting the EU: The financial settlement’ concluded was reasonable.
