Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the accuracy of predictions made by the OECD, in the light of the statement made by OECD Director General, Jose Angel Gurria on 27 April 2016, which suggested that a UK exit from the EU would immediately hit confidence and would result in UK GDP being reduced by 3 per cent by 2020.

The government has not made an assessment of the accuracy of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) predictions. The OECD is an independent international organisation, and its analysis of the UK economy represents its own views.
