## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

## ANSWER [GEN. (DR) V. K. SINGH (RETD)]

- (a) to (c) For the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, it has  to  invoke  Article  50  of  the  Lisbon  Treaty.  It  is  up  to  the Government  of  United  Kingdom  to  decide  when  to  invoke  this Article. Such an invocation will then set in motion, the process for the  United  Kingdom  to  withdraw  from  the  European  Union.  The relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union is therefore yet to evolve and until such time, it is hard to assess the impact  of  Brexit  on  India  and  the  Indian  community  in  the  United Kingdom. High Commission of India in London is in touch with the Indian community, various organisations and business associations to  understand  the  eventual  implications  of  Brexit  on  the  Indian community.
