The petition
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.
I believe having left the European Union our economy has been significantly damaged. Additionally I think that the UK has been marginalised.
The government's response
The Government has no such plans. On 19 May, the Government announced a new strategic partnership between the UK and the EU, which will make the UK safer, more secure and more prosperous.
The Government has no plans to hold a public inquiry into the impact of the UK’s exit from the European Union.
The Government was elected with a clear and emphatic mandate to strengthen our relationship with the EU. Since taking office, we have reset our relations with European partners to improve the lives of working people and make the people across the UK safer, more secure and more prosperous.
On 19 May, the Prime Minister welcomed the Presidents of the European Commission and Council to Lancaster House, for the first ever Summit between the UK and the EU. At the Summit, he announced a deal with the EU which will deliver on what the British public voted for last year. This deal is good for bills, good for jobs, and good for our borders.
The full deal, as agreed at the Summit, can be found on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ukeu-summit-key-documentation).
