As the Prime Minister confirmed to the House on 12 October, the Government's red lines for this Parliament regarding a return to the EU Single Market and Customs Union remain in place. However, around the time of the next UK-EU Summit, the Prime Minister will lay out to the country the different options for Britain's long-term relationship with our European partners.
