Article 50

Proceeding contribution from Owen Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 January 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Article 50.

I agree with the Secretary of State that the Prime Minister was very clear in her speech last week that we are leaving the single market and likely the customs union. Before the referendum, his Government said that that would cost the British people £66 billion or roughly half the cost of the NHS per year. Do the Government stand by that estimate or is there a different estimate today? If so, will he tell us what it is?
