Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to paragraph 3.16 of the Review of the Balance of Competences between the UK and the EU: The Single Market, published in July 2013, whether the impact assessments relating to the effect of EU exit on 50 sectors of the economy conducted by his Department have reached conclusions different to those of the studies cited in the 2013 review about the effect of the Single Market on the UK's GDP.

The government is carrying out a programme of extensive analytical work that will contribute to our exit negotiations with the EU, defining our future partnership with the EU, and informing our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks. As Parliament has also agreed, however we will not publish anything that undermines our ability to negotiate the best deal for the UK.
