Leaving the EU: Economic Analysis

Joanna Cherry Excerpts

Tuesday 30th January 2018 Commons Chamber

[Joanna Cherry (Edinburgh South West) (SNP)]

If the economic forecasts and impact assessments published to date have been so wrong, why do the Government not tell the British people what it is they want from the EU by way of a deal, cost it and publish the results? Why is that so difficult?

[Mr Baker]

My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister set out what we want in the Lancaster House and Florence speeches. We are heading down the path of successfully delivering on what the Government have said we wish to have.

[Joanna Cherry]

Cost it.

[Mr Baker]

We will continue to carry out a wide-ranging and developing programme of economic analysis, which will help to inform our negotiating position and our decisions.
