<p>The Department for Exiting the European Union is undertaking a comprehensive programme
of analytical work across a range of scenarios. We are examining all areas of the
UK economy from a number of perspectives and seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders.
As part of this, we have looked at 58 sectors of the economy, as set out in our response
to the Lords EU External Affairs Sub-committee report “Brexit: Trade in Goods” which
can be found at: <a href="https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201617/ldselect/ldeucom/129/129.pdf"

</p><p>We will continue to engage with businesses and industry bodies from all sectors
of the economy, and all regions and nations of the UK, in order to inform our negotiations
with the EU.</p><p> </p><p>We have published 14 detailed papers on the negotiations
to date and will continue to be as open as possible subject to the overwhelming national
interest of preserving our negotiating position. Ministers have a specific responsibility,
which Parliament has endorsed, not to release information that would undermine our
negotiating position.</p><p> </p>
