Recommendation 60

We recommend in particular that the Government provide further details at the earliest opportunity, and in any event in its response to this Report, about its proposals for sectoral alignment with the EU Single Market in additional areas as suggested by the Prime Minister. This should make clear in particular the sectors it has prioritised in that regard, and how it intends to take that forward with the EU in the run-up to the next UK-EU summit. The Government should also use existing avenues for consultation to give the sectors affected the opportunity to provide views on the Government’s intentions, before any further formal negotiations based around alignment with EU rules are initiated. (Recommendation, Paragraph 164)
