Nothing to fears from a ‘no deal’

-

DEAR Editor, It has been repeatedly described by many Members of Parliament and others that exiting the EU without a deal is a disaster that has to be avoided. By default the unacceptab­le consequenc­es of exiting the EU under Mrs May’s withdrawal agreement prevails.

Taking rules from Brussels has already raised its head with the EU sponsored reduction in VAT for small business from £85,000 to £76,300.

Under the Withdrawal Agreement we no longer have power of veto but would have to follow the EU ruling if/when it comes into force.

I would encourage readers to look at “Briefings for Brexit” website and in particular the report entitled “No deal is no nightmare: facts about EU trade after Brexit”.

This more than clarifies our position and would enable us to pursue a Trade Agreement with the USA. We would also save £39 billion. It should be compulsory for all members of parliament prior to the next vote. West Midlands members please note!
