answer text <p>As Parliamentary Under Secretary Robin Walker said in his opening remarks to the House on 1st November, the Government has not produced a series of sectoral impact assessments. The Government has produced a wide mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis, contained in a range of documents developed at different times since the referendum. It is constantly evolving and being updated based on our discussions with industry and our negotiations with the EU, but it is not, and nor has it ever been, a series of impact assessments examining the quantitative impact of Brexit on these sectors. The Secretary of State has said that he will provide sector analysis to the Exiting the European Union Committee in an informative and accessible way as soon as is possible.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government has increased certainty for citizens and businesses through the progress we’ve made on citizen’s rights - giving both British citizens in the EU and EU citizens in the UK the greatest possible legal certainty about the future.</p><p>On 17 October, the Secretary of State updated Parliament on the October negotiating round, a statement repeated in the Lords by Baroness Goldie. This made clear that we have reached agreement on the criteria for residence rights, the right to work and to own a business, social security rights, rights for current family members, reciprocal healthcare rights, the rights of frontier workers, and the fact that the process for securing settled status in the UK will be streamlined and low cost.</p><p>We have also made progress in regards to agreeing some of the key joint principles we want to adopt in relation to the issues arising for Northern Ireland and Ireland - in particular on the Common Travel Area and associated rights - a significant step forward.</p><p>Finally, we have provided reassurance to our EU partners in regards to our mutual financial obligations. We have also been undertaking a rigorous examination of technical detail where we need to reach a shared view; this is an important step so that we will be able to reach technical agreement, when the time comes.</p><p> </p>
