Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment, if any, they have made of the economic analysis in the report <i>A Blueprint for Britain: Openness not Isolation</i>.

In order to inform policy making, the government reviews and notes the wider evidence on key international economic questions on an ongoing basis.

The Government has a clear mandate to improve Britain’s relationship with the rest of the EU, and to reform the EU so that it creates jobs and increases living standards for all its citizens.

The Prime Minister has started to discuss his plans for EU reform and renegotiation with other EU leaders. He has been clear that the plans involve reforming welfare and immigration rules, increasing economic competitiveness and cutting red tape to create jobs and growth for hard working families, and protecting Britain's interests outside the euro.

It also means halting the constant flow of powers to Brussels including by ensuring a stronger role for national Parliaments. The Government will hold an in/out referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU by the end of 2017.
