HL Deb 30 April 2001 vol 625 c70WA
Lord Pearson of Rannoch

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Lord Sainsbury of Turville on 3 April (WA112), whether they see any reason why the United Kingdom would not continue to enjoy tariff-free access to the Single Market if it left the European Union after signing a free trade agreement with the European Union. [HL1725]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The United Kingdom would enjoy tariff-free access to the Single Market to the extent such a free trade agreement allowed.
