uin	208741
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>On 28 November 2018, the government published a robust assessment of how exiting the EU may affect the UK economy in the long-run, detailing the effects on GDP, GDP per capita, exports and imports across four scenarios. This analysis is available on gov.uk.</p><p> </p><p>While the analysis does not seek to assess the effect of non-tariff barriers on consumer prices specifically, the lower GDP in the modelled no deal scenario compared to today's arrangements reflects the combined impact of trade frictions, including non-tariff barriers, on households' purchasing power as well as on firms' gross output and their productivity. The White Paper scenario would deliver significantly higher economic output compared to no deal.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 21/01/2019 16:22:55 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities and for small businesses across the UK.

The management of the branch network, which includes temporary closures, are operational matters for Post Office Limited.</p><p> </p><p>I have therefore asked Paula Vennells, the Group Chief Executive of Post Office Limited, to write to the hon Member on this matter.
