<p>The Department for Exiting the European Union, working with officials across Government,
continues to undertake a wide range of analysis to support our negotiations. Our work
covers the breadth of the UK economy, and we are looking in detail at more than 50
sectors as well as areas of cross-cutting regulation. Parliament has agreed that we
will not publish anything that would undermine the Government’s ability to negotiate
the best deal for Britain. Now, that the Prime Minister has initiated the Article
50 process and negotiations have begun in earnest, I can confirm that we will shortly
be publishing the list of sectors we have been examining - though this of course does
not mean that we have changed our position on revealing information which may harm
our negotiating position.</p>
