Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Neville-Rolfe on 2 August (HL1221), given that Euratom is a separate legal entity from the European Union, whether they intend also to withdraw from the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and, if so, under what legal basis.
The Government is assessing the legal and policy implications of the public’s vote to leave the EU. This includes assessing the implications for the UK’s membership of EURATOM.
