Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, when he plans to publish the findings of his Department's impact assessments relating to the effect of the UK leaving the EU on the UK video games industry.

The Department for Exiting the European Union, working with officials across government, continues to undertake a wide range of analysis to support progress in the negotiations. However, this analysis is not, and nor has it ever been, a series of impact assessments examining the quantitative impact of Brexit on each sector.

The House has previously voted not to release information that would be prejudicial to our negotiating position. As the Written Ministerial Statement laid by the Department for Exiting the EU on 7 November made clear, it will take the Department, working with other departments, time to collate and bring together this information in a way that is accessible and informative for the Committee. The Government is committed to providing the information to the Committee as soon as is possible. As set out in the Written Ministerial Statement, we expect this to be no more than three weeks.
