It included associated costs for five broad groups, across the economy as well as for eleven corresponding sectors which together cover the majority of the UK economy and all traded goods and services:</p><p> </p><p>○ Manufactured Goods (including Iron &amp; Steel as well as Motor vehicles and parts);</p><p>○ Agri-food;</p><p>○ Services (Non-Financial and Non-Networks);</p><p>○ Financial Services;</p><p>○ Networks;</p><p> </p><p>The sector of “motor vehicles and parts”, being a sub – sector of the wider manufactured goods group, was assessed as one of the 11 corresponding sectors; and therefore, results of the impact of different EU-exit scenarios on motor vehicles have been published.</p><p>The macroeconomic modelling tools used for this analysis do not allow for disaggregation of results at individual sector level.</p><p> </p><p>Extensive engagement has also taken place and is continuing between Government and the steel and automotive industries, to better understand the implications of different EU – exit scenarios on the sectors.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 11/02/2019 15:17:58 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
