Clean Brexit

The centre-right UK think tank Policy Exchange published a report called Clean Brexit in Januray 2017. The authors called for:

+ to explicitly rule out remaining in the EU’s Single Market and Customs Union
+ offer the other 27 EU nations a deal to carry on trading under existing tariff-free arrangements, but make clear we are also happy with World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules — and that if the EU imposes WTO tariffs on us, we will reciprocate
+ insist that the UK will negotiate free trade agreements with the rest of the world, even while we remain in the EU, to come into effect when we leave
+ put the ‘Great Repeal Bill’, highlighted by the Prime Minister, before Parliament now to ensure continuity for businesses.
