Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what the Government's policy is on the maximum contribution the UK is willing to make to the EU budget in order to gain access to the Single market.

The UK continues to be a member of the EU and will meet the obligations as a full member state. This includes paying into the EU budget.

We have already informed the House that we are not going to provide a running commentary on every twist and turn of our negotiations to leave the EU, but we will strike a deal in the best interests of UK taxpayers, and which gives UK companies the maximum freedom to trade with and operate in the Single Market.
