UK could pay EU for single market access after Brexit.

The UK could pay EU contributions for access to the single market as part of its exit deal, the Brexit Secretary has said.

During a question session in the House of Commons, David Davis said "of course" the Government would consider paying to retain single market access.

Mr Davis was asked by Labour MP Wayne David: "Will the Government consider making any contribution in any shape or form for access to the single market?"

The Brexit Secretary replied: "The major criterion here is we get the best possible access for goods and services and if that is included in what he's talking about then we'll consider it."

After his comments, the pound climbed to a three-month high of €1.19 against the euro and was up two cents against the US dollar at just under $1.27.
