To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what his policy is on access to the single market for services; and if he will make a statement.

Mr Robin Walker

Our economy is fundamentally strong, and the UK is open to business and investment. The Government has been consulting, and will continue to consult, with a broad range of stakeholders and we will need to consider all factors carefully in implementing the decision of the British people. This is clearly a very important issue for UK business and we will want the strongest possible economic links with our European neighbours.
