Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to his oral evidence to the Exiting the EU Committee on 6 December 2017, whether the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast of the economic impact of withdrawal from the EU is in the public domain.
Answered by Robin Walker
The Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) latest Economic and Fiscal Outlook was published on 22 November 2017 and is available at the following address: http://cdn.budgetresponsibility.org.uk/Nov2017EFOwebversion-2.pdf. This sets out forecasts of the UK economy and public finances to 2022-23, which extends well beyond the point at which the UK leaves the EU.
