As the Chancellor made clear in front of the Treasury Select Committee on Wednesday 6 December, the department has undertaken a variety of analysis and continues to do. The Treasury has modelled and analysed the impact of a wide range of potential alternative structures between the EU and the UK. This analysis is ongoing and continues to inform our negotiation position with the EU.
