Our analysis is not, nor has it ever been, a series of sectoral impact assessments examining the quantitative impact of Brexit.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

In order to meet the motion of 1st November, we have taken time to bring together the sectoral analyses in a way that is accessible and informative to the Committee.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

We have provided a vast amount of factual information to help the Committees in their scrutiny whilst respecting our overriding duty to the national interest.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Ministers have a specific responsibility, which Parliament has endorsed in a motion in December 2016, not to release information that would undermine our negotiating position. As such, the sectoral reports do not contain material that we judge would undermine the UK\u2019s hand in the negotiations, or material that is commercially or market sensitive.<\/p>

Since the referendum my department has undertaken a wide range of qualitative and quantitative analysis across all sectors of the economy. However, the Secretary of State and I have made consistently clear that our analysis does not exist in the form of Impact Assessments.<\/p>

Following the motion on 1 November, my department began collating our analysis into an accessible and informative set of reports for the Exiting the European Union Committee and the European Union Committee in the House of Lords. This has been a very substantial undertaking.<\/p>

Cabinet Committee clearance was given on Monday 27 November and the reports were delivered immediately to the Committees.

We have been consistently clear that we want an early agreement on the rights of all EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU, on a reciprocal basis - of course, this includes non-UK EU nationals currently working in the Civil Service in the UK, to whom fall under this agreement.<\/p>

<\/p>

We recognise the valuable contribution of all civil servants, including the contribution that those who come from EU countries make. We welcome those with the skills and expertise to make our nation better still.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are continuing negotiations in a constructive way and are determined to reach agreement.<\/p>

The UK is a major market for EU goods, including food and drink. In 2016, the UK imported £242 billion of goods from EU Member States. This reinforces the value of a deep and special economic partnership between the UK and the EU.<\/p>

The Government\u2019s position paper Continuity in the availability of goods for the EU and the UK<\/em> (21 August 2017) sets out proposals designed to avoid disruption for businesses and consumers in regard the availability of goods, including imports, as the UK leaves the EU. Over recent months, we have held constructive discussions with the European Commission on these specific issues.<\/p>
