Government’s EU Exit Analysis

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

Not right now.

Of course, there is a specific role for this sort of modelling, but it must be deployed carefully and appropriately alongside a full range of policy work in our EU exit plans. On its own, no model or analysis will be sufficient to provide us with the full picture of the various benefits and costs of different versions of Britain’s future relationship with the EU. Such models cannot predict the future. It is the Government’s job to use these sorts of models appropriately and to develop them as best they can. Despite this—and, in many cases, because of it—the analysis remains extremely sensitive.
