Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what forecasts the Government has made of the potential effect on the Welsh economy of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

Leaving the EU with a deal remains the Government’s top priority. This has not changed. However, the Government is continuing with our no deal preparations to ensure the country is prepared for every eventuality. It is the responsible thing to do.

The UK Government’s analysis shows that under the White paper proposals GVA for Wales will be 8.1 percentage points higher than in the no deal scenario.
