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

We want British companies, including automotive, to have the greatest possible tariff- and barrier-free trade with our European neighbours.</p><p>Negotiating a comprehensive free trade agreement with the EU, greater in scope than any such agreement before, is a priority for the Government as we leave the EU. We want tariff-free trade with Europe, and for cross-border trade to be as frictionless as possible. The UK starts from a unique position – where our rules and regulations are the same as the EU, and where we share a commitment to high regulatory standards. The terms of our future trading relationship with the EU are a matter for the negotiation, however we are confident that a future partnership between the UK and the EU is in the interest of both sides, so we approach the negotiations anticipating success.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 24/10/2017 16:58:47 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
