:05:28. > :05:33.morning, the trade secretary suggested we could remain partial
:05:34. > :05:37.members of the Customs' Union. I hear people talking about hard
:05:38. > :05:42.Brexit and soft Brexit as if it is a boiled egg we are talking about. It
:05:43. > :05:46.is a little more complex. Turkey is in part of the Customs' Union but
:05:47. > :05:54.not other parts. We need to look at the cost. The Customs' Union
:05:55. > :05:57.includes all 28 EU nations at all so Turkey, Monaco, San Marino and
:05:58. > :06:02.Andorra. All can trade freely with each other. But they must impose the
:06:03. > :06:06.same tariffs on good outside the customs union. They are also barred
:06:07. > :06:09.from doing bilateral trade deals that other countries. That is why
:06:10. > :06:14.the trade Secretary would like half way house, but there will be
:06:15. > :06:16.trade-offs. The former Chancellor, now free to speak without a
:06:17. > :06:22.government script urged ministers to be careful. We should do this on the
:06:23. > :06:27.basis of a hard-headed assessment on what is in our national and economic
:06:28. > :06:32.interests. Yes, it is true that the grass may be greener outside of
:06:33. > :06:36.those arrangements, and we may be able to conduct new free trade deals
:06:37. > :06:42.with Australia and the United States and so on, but that should not come
:06:43. > :06:47.at a price of giving up the existing free trade arrangements with Germany
:06:48. > :06:51.and France. And you think we can keep those? That is where I would be
:06:52. > :06:54.starting from. You cannot say we are a beacon of free trade in the world
:06:55. > :06:58.and then the main thing we can achieve is a huge act of

:08:45. > :08:50.were able to get out as the battle raged around them. This is where
