We are undertaking a wide range of analysis looking at the implications of UK withdrawal from the EU. The sectoral reports are a part of that. They are not exhaustive, nor are they the final say on any of these issues. The Government is examining all areas of the UK economy and seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders in order to inform our negotiations with the EU.

However, Ministers have a specific responsibility, which Parliament has endorsed, not to release information that would undermine our negotiating position.
