Government’s EU Exit Analysis

Proceeding contribution from Keir Starmer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 31 January 2018. It occurred during Opposition day on Government’s EU Exit Analysis.

I agree. It is significant that the original documents that were requested last year were initially refused on freedom of information grounds, only then to be made available in the form I described, and then to be put in the public domain in any event, which demonstrates the point that many Governments—this Government are doing the same—put their arms around information that ought to be in the public domain to inform the debate. It is the wrong way of doing business.
