The Brexit White Paper on future relations and alternative proposals
The Government published its White Paper on future relations between the UK and the EU on 12 July. It envisages a 'common rulebook' to facilitate 'frictionless' trade, and among other things, UK cooperation in security matters, a commitment to maintain high environmental, data and consumer protection standards, UK participation in some EU agencies and solutions to the Irish border issues - all underpinned by a new governance structure that will pay "due regard" to the EU Court.

David Davis's 'alternative' white paper proposes a somewhat different future relationship. This paper looks at proposals in both documents.
