Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Referendum question was in or out of E.U., nothing else.

The question on 23rd June was binary, for the UK to be in or out of the E.U. The question had no other related questions following it. All that the UK Government should therefore be doing is arranging for the UK to leave the EU, nothing else.

More details

Neither Trade nor Immigration, nor any of the 'four freedoms' were asked about or referred to in the referendum question. The UK electorate have therefore not made their feelings known about their preferences for immigration or trade, only that the prevailing view in the UK is for the UK to leave the EU.

The mandate for the UK Government is therefore to arrange for the UK to leave the EU, leaving everything else unchanged.
