PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Brexit (11 October 2017)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, when he plans to publish the impact assessments of the UK leaving the EU.

Asked by:
Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

The Department for Exiting the European Union, working with officials across Government, are in the process of carrying out a programme of rigorous and extensive analytical work that will contribute to our exit negotiations with the EU, to define our future partnership with the EU, and to inform our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks.

The Department will continue to balance our commitment to transparency with the need to protect information which could undermine the UK’s ability to negotiate the best deal for the UK. Parliament has voted and agrees with this, as referenced in the vote of 7 December 2016.
