The Government is undertaking a wide range of analysis and preparatory work to support our EU exit negotiations and preparations. However, it is not standard practice to provide an ongoing commentary on internal analysis.

Ministers have a specific responsibility, which Parliament has endorsed, not to release information that would undermine our negotiating position.

We have committed to providing Parliament with appropriate analysis ahead of the final vote on the deal. That will be the right time to present the work. It will allow Parliament to scrutinise an appropriate analysis of the options, based on the most accurate assessment we can make.
