	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Exiting the European Union, working with officials across government, continues to undertake a wide range of analysis to support progress in the negotiations. However, this analysis is not, and nor has it ever been, a series of impact assessments examining the quantitative impact of Brexit on each sector.<br><br>The House has previously voted not to release information that would be prejudicial to our negotiating position. As the Written Ministerial Statement laid by the Department for Exiting the EU on 7 November made clear, it will take the Department, working with other departments, time to collate and bring together this information in a way that is accessible and informative for the Committee. The Government is committed to providing the information to the Committee as soon as is possible. As set out in the Written Ministerial Statement, we expect this to be no more than three weeks.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 23/11/2017 14:12:51 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

That’s why we are proposing a strictly time-limited implementation period, based on the existing structure of EU rules and regulations, during which the UK and the EU would continue to have access to one another’s markets on current terms.</p><p>The UK government believes it is in the interests of both parties to achieve the best possible outcome and the strongest possible partnership for the future - one that works for the UK and for the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 04/12/2017 16:58:17 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
