answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Exiting the European Union is undertaking a comprehensive programme of analytical work across a range of scenarios. Listing the titles of all market access assessments would likely impact the UK’s negotiating position by implying broader priorities of Government work.
