Context
The transition period ends on December 31, 2020. Small businesses face uncertainty due to the pandemic and Brexit.
Does the Minister agree that businesses across the country want to remove the uncertainty from prolonged negotiations and feel safe with a firm mandate for the negotiations allowing them to prepare properly and prosper?
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. Businesses want uncertainty removed, which is why we are clear that we will end the transition period on 31 December, a position I understand the CBI is now in favour of.
