Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment the Government has made of the potential effect on businesses in Edinburgh of leaving the EU.

The United Kingdom will leave the European Union and we are going to make a success of it. While it is clear that we do now face some economic challenges as a result of the referendum decision, the UK economy does so from a position of strength.

HM Government is monitoring economic developments closely and the independent Office for Budget Responsibility will produce an updated economic forecast alongside Autumn Statement 2016.
