Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether the EU Exit Analysis - Cross Whitehall Briefing was commissioned by the Market Access and Budget Directorate team in his Department.

The work is a cross-Whitehall exercise, leveraging the best expertise from each department. It has not been led by any single Department, nor indeed any single Directorate.

As with all the Government’s work on EU exit, DExEU plays a coordinating role, working with the relevant Departments across Whitehall.
