On February 2, 2017, the Government published a White Paper on its plan for exiting and achieving a new partnership with the EU. The White Paper expands upon Prime Minister Theresa May’s speech on January 17, 2017. We have previously written about the speech and earlier developments (The UK government's Brexit plan and its implications for Life Sciences).
The White Paper sets out the 12 principles which will guide the Government in the negotiations. Those principles, and statements made in the White Paper with respect to them, include:
Principle |
Statements |
Ensuring the UK remains the best place for science and innovation |

Providing certainty and clarity / taking control of our own laws |
|
Ensuring free trade with European markets |

Controlling immigration |
