Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to EU Exit Analysis – Cross Whitehall Briefing, what assumptions were made in preparing that document; and whether it was assumed that the UK's participation in the 759 EU Treaties would roll over.

As ministers clearly set out in the House, this is provisional internal analysis and does not represent Government policy. It is part of a broad ongoing programme of analysis, and further work is in train.

The Government has complied with the Humble Address motion passed by the House, which made clear that the contents of this analysis should be treated confidentially, to ensure our negotiating position is in no way undermined.
