Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union on the Bank of England's forecasts for the economy after the UK leaves the EU.

On 28 November the Bank of England published analysis on how the short-term impact of leaving the EU could affect the Bank’s ability to meet its objectives for monetary and financial stability. This analysis was produced by the Bank of England for the Treasury Committee and Parliament, and it was rightly produced and presented by the Bank independently of Government.

In line with the practice of successive administrations, the details of ministerial discussions are not normally discussed.
