Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what quantitative assessments his Department has made of the effect of the UK leaving the EU on the sectors for which his Department is responsible.

The Government is undertaking a comprehensive programme of analytical work that will contribute to our exit negotiations, help to define our future partnership with the EU, and inform our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks.

We are examining all areas of the UK economy from a number of perspectives and seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders. Since the EU referendum, BEIS ministers and officials have engaged with over 1,700 businesses and other stakeholders on EU Exit and Industrial Strategy.

Our analysis is constantly evolving and being updated based on our discussions with industry and our negotiations with the EU.
