"Mr President, yesterday the British Prime Minister announced that the negotiations for the UK to leave the EU would start at the end of March 2017. The lack of any commitment to the importance of the EU single market was shocking. The British Government is about to start negotiations and it cannot commit to making the EU single market a key factor in any negotiations. The single market is pivotal to the UK’s current market access for goods and services. Throw that away and you put British jobs and the UK economy at risk. Only today, we saw the fall in the value of the pound. Hundreds of thousands of British jobs rely on our accessing the EU single market. Why is it important? It is important because the single market allows us to create one set of rules that cover 20 different countries, covering 500 million citizens, allowing certainty for business and security and quality for consumers. It is no coincidence that here in this Parliament, since the single market – or internal market – committee was created in 2004, it has had only had UK chairs in Phillip Whitehead, Arlene McCarthy, Malcolm Harbour and currently Vicky Ford. The EU single market matters to the UK and the UK should recognise this. The UK Government should recognise this before it irrevocably damages the British economy and destroys British jobs."@en1
