Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many treaties are required to be renegotiated as a result of the UK leaving the EU.

Many of the UK’s relationships with non-EU partners and international organisations rest in some way on our membership of the EU.

The UK will seek to maintain the relationships and cooperation it currently enjoys with non-EU partners and international organisations as it exits the EU. Our priority is to ensure continuity, and we recognise the need to promote stability for business and individuals.

We are currently conducting a detailed assessment of the agreements which will require replacement as a result of the UK’s exit from the UK and taking forward work with partners to do so.
