There’s still time to switch to a Brexit plan that honours voters’ wishes

SIR – Despite all the delays by Number 10, there’s still enough time to achieve a true Brexit.

We know this because Olly Robbins, the Europhile civil servant put in charge of handling Brexit by Theresa May, told Parliament that he compiled the 120-page Chequers plan in “about a fortnight”.

It therefore follows that a proposal for an authentic Brexit – such as the one David Davis had completed before Mr Robbins and Mrs May binned it – could be dusted off in a fraction of that time. Martin Burgess

SIR – The Canada-style agreement that Donald Tusk says is “still on the table” has conditions that include continuing access for EU countries to Britain’s fishing grounds. Anyone who is in favour of this offer will need to be comfortable with what such a deal would mean for our fishing industry. Rod Wilkins

SIR – Shinzo Abe, the Japanese prime minister, has said Britain would be welcome to join the Trans-pacific Partnership after leaving the EU (report, October 9).

Britain must be free to do so, without any restrictive pledges to the EU and its stagnating economies. This is the key test of a good Brexit. Stephen Shaw

SIR – The ease with which Dr David Frape (Letters, October 8) was able to cross between Switzerland and Germany is not surprising.

What he and his wife experienced is called the Schengen Zone, which allows the free movement of more than 400 million people across the borders of 26 countries.

It is perfectly possible to replicate this at the Irish border, as he suggests. The easiest way would be for both Britain and Ireland to join the Schengen Zone. Christian Froggatt

SIR – Thank heavens for Charles Moore (Comment, October 6) and his ability to cut through all the misconceptions surrounding the Irish backstop.

I just want to reinforce his argument by emphasising that far more of Northern Ireland’s goods go to Britain than the republic. Cross-border trade is far less important to both Northern Ireland and the republic than their separate trade links with Britain.

There is, therefore, no need for Britain to make any concession concerning the land border with Ireland, and certainly no need to create any customs barrier or checks between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, which would have detrimental consequences for both. Lawrence Kaye
