EU exit by next election
LIAM Fox has insisted it is “not a huge deal” if transitional arrangements for Brexit last up until 2022.
But the International Trade Secretary said he believed people did not want it “dragging on” so long.
He told BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show: “Having waited for over 40 years to leave the European Union, 24 months would be a rounding error. It’s not a huge deal and neither is it an ideological one.
“I think we would want to get it out of the way before the election.”
But the Federation of Germany industry, the BDI, warned against a long transitional deal.
