Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether his Department has yet modelled the effect on the UK economy of the Government's intended future trade partnership with the EU.

We are undertaking a comprehensive programme of analytical work examining all areas of the UK economy. Our analytical work contributes to our exit negotiations with the EU, defines our deep and special partnership with the EU, and informs our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks.

It is not standard practice to provide a running commentary on continuing, internal analysis. Ministers have a specific responsibility, which Parliament has endorsed, not to release information that could reveal our negotiating position.
