Leave the EU’s single market and customs union to boost UK by £450 million a week

Change Britain is the campaign to make a success of Britain’s departure from the EU.Research by Change Britain, a campaign group supporting the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, published in December 2016, claimed that £24 billion a year prize was on offer if the UK Government pursued a ‘clean Brexit’ and decided to leave the EU’s single market and customs union. The UK would be over £450 million a week better off through a mixture of taking back control of the money we gave to the EU each year, lower regulatory burdens on British businesses and through striking trade deals with growing parts of the world’s economy.
