GEOFFREY Clifton-Brown correctly states (Standard Nov 12) that, in the event of our leaving the EU, the French, Germans, and Italians will still want to sell us their products, and that, we will “still want to export our financial services and creative industries”.

These points are clearly stating the blindingly obvious and surely a more important question is whether our neighbours will still want to buy from us and if so at what price?
