Michael Gove previously rejected aligning UK business rules with the EU, insisting the UK would not trade away sovereignty. Gove responded cautiously when asked about dynamic alignment, saying he would wait for details before making a definitive judgment. Nick Thomas-Symonds advocated a deal to export food and drink to the EU without boundaries, estimating £5.1bn annual benefits by 2040. The government plans to eliminate the current £200 licence cost for small agricultural exporters. Thomas-Symonds also supported accepting EU standards for the foreseeable future to reduce Irish Sea checks and welcomed a possible youth mobility scheme for young Britons.
We will not trade away our sovereignty.
I will wait to see the details before making a definitive judgment.
We can then start reducing the checks on the Irish Sea, which is clearly of benefit to trade, he argued.
When you are providing those opportunities for young British people, I'm very excited about the scheme, he said. I think it's going to be fantastic.
