Until the point of exit, the UK remains a full member of the European Union, its institutions and related bodies.

We want to achieve a deep and special partnership between the UK and the European Union, but the precise nature of this future relationship is a matter for the negotiations.

It would not be appropriate to publish information which might undermine our negotiating position – a principle that was overwhelmingly supported by the House of Commons in October last year.
