Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether his Department plans to undertake or commission modelling of the effect of leaving the EU on the basis of its preferred scenario.

We want the broadest and deepest possible partnership – covering more sectors and co-operating more fully than any Free Trade Agreement anywhere in the world today.

The Government is undertaking a wide range of continuing analysis and preparatory work, across a range of scenarios, looking at the implications of UK withdrawal from the EU. We have been clear the Government will not provide a running commentary on internal analytical work that is being carried out within Government.

The Government has confirmed that when we bring forward the vote on the final deal, we will ensure that Parliament is presented with the appropriate analysis to make an informed decision. Given that we are yet to conclude this negotiation, it would not be practical or appropriate to set out the details of exactly how the Government will analyse the final deal.
