The Government does not intend to produce an Impact Assessment. We have consistently said that it would be impossible for a single model, number or scenario to capture that complexity or represent the varying impacts that will be felt across different parts of the economy.

The Government has secured a deal that will benefit families and businesses across the UK, we can now take full advantage of the opportunities available to us.
