Javid: Single Market Access 'Number One Priority'

The Business Secretary has said maintaining access to the single market was his "number one priority" as he moved to calm concern among industry leaders in the wake of Brexit. Sajid Javid insisted that the UK was still "open for business" and that the British economy remained "fundamentally strong". He was meeting more than 20 representatives from the UK's largest trade sectors for the first roundtable meeting since the EU referendum.
