Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what estimate he has made of the (a) amount of time and (b) resources that his Department allocated to the production of impact assessments on the UK leaving the EU; and on what date work on those impact assessments started.

Impact Assessments, typically related to specific new primary legislation before Parliament, are narrowly defined. For example, the Government laid an Impact Assessment alongside the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, which can be found on the GOV.UK website.
