A number of people have contacted about the important issue of the Government’s Brexit Impact Assessments. On Wednesday 1st November MPs unanimously passed a Labour motion demanding the Government releases the 58 Brexit impact studies.

Labour has been absolutely clear since the referendum that ministers could not withhold vital information from the public and Parliament about the impact of Brexit on jobs and the economy.

It’s completely unacceptable for the Tories to have wasted months avoiding responsible scrutiny and trying to keep the public in the dark. The reality is that it should not have taken an ancient Parliamentary procedure to get ministers to listen to common sense.

The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union David Davis MP must now urgently respond to Parliament’s vote and publish these papers in full without redactions and Labour will continue to press the Government until they do so.
