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 will complete this point and then give way.

There is a serious point. Is it seriously Government policy that impact assessments are so inherently unreliable that it is better to proceed without them? That is the logic of the position described yesterday. Is it not better to adopt the approach tweeted last night by the Under-Secretary of State for Justice, the hon. Member for Bracknell (Dr Lee), who said:

“The next phase of Brexit has to be all about the evidence. We can’t just dismiss this and move on. If there is evidence to the contrary, we need to see and consider that too”?
