As the PM has said, the days of Britain making vast contributions to the EU every year will end. However, we will honour the commitments made during our membership, and have agreed on a fair settlement with the EU, which secures a number of principles that will ensure a good deal for UK taxpayers.

The UK government is focused on working with our EU allies to reach an agreement on a comprehensive and ambitious economic partnership, and an implementation period to give people, businesses, and public services in the UK and across the EU the time they need to put in place the new arrangements that will be required.
