Written Question
Economic Situation
Thursday 12th October 2017

Asked by: Seema Malhotra (Labour (Co-op) - Feltham and Heston)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, pursuant to the Answer of 13 September 2017 to Question 8561, what the evidential basis is for his statement that Parliament has agreed that the Government need not publish anything that would undermine its ability to negotiate the best deal for the UK.

Answered by Steve Baker

On 12 October 2016 the House of Commons agreed to an amended Opposition motion which stated that the parliamentary scrutiny process should be undertaken in such a way that does not undermine the negotiating position of the Government as negotiations are entered into.

On 7 December 2016 the House of Commons also voted in favour of an amended Opposition motion which stated that there should be no disclosure of material that could be reasonably judged to damage the UK in any negotiations to withdraw from the European Union after Article 50 has been triggered.



Written Question
Brexit
Monday 9th October 2017

Asked by: Seema Malhotra (Labour (Co-op) - Feltham and Heston)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, pursuant to the Answer of 13 September 2017 to Question 8561, what the criteria is for deciding what information, if published, would undermine the ability of the Government to negotiate the best deal for the UK; and which Minister is responsible for making that decision.

Answered by Robin Walker

As is usual practice, the Government considers the implications of publishing its analysis, including, where appropriate, looking at a range of relevant factors to decide whether it would harm the Government’s negotiating position. The Government respects the role of Parliament in this process and has committed to keeping both Houses informed throughout. However, the Government also takes seriously its commitment not to publish anything that would undermine its negotiating position. Government publications are based on the principle of collective agreement, and therefore the decision to publish Government material is a collective one.
