Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether his Department has undertaken an impact assessment on the effect of leaving the single market on the economy of Cornwall.

The Government is committed to securing a deal that works for the entire United Kingdom - for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and all parts of England.
As part of this commitment the Government and DExEU Ministers continue to engage extensively with regional stakeholders, and intend to continue this work throughout the exit process.

The Prime Minister has stated that we will we will not seek membership of the EU’s Single Market after we leave the EU, but a bold and ambitious Free Trade Agreement as part of a new, deep and special partnership.

The Department for Exiting the EU is working with officials across Government and undertaking a programme of analytical work to assess the economic impacts of exiting the European Union across all areas of the UK.

Parliament has repeatedly asked the Government to protect information that could undermine the UK's negotiating position and the Government will respect this.

The government has provided a guarantee for all European Structural and Investment Fund projects signed before the UK leaves the European Union (EU), providing they are value for money and in line with domestic priorities, including where those projects continue beyond the UK’s departure from the EU. The government’s manifesto committed to create a UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Further details on the Shared Prosperity Fund will be set out in due course.
