Exiting the European Union: publications

Statement

My Right Honourable Friend, the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, Stephen Barclay, has made the following written statement:

Today I am laying before Parliament the following documents intended to facilitate parliamentary scrutiny ahead of the vote on the final deal:

●EU Exit: Taking back control of our borders, money and laws while protecting our economy, security and Union. This sets out how the deal we have reached with the EU delivers on the referendum result and works in the national interest.

● EU Exit: Long-term economic analysis. This is the economic analysis that the Government committed to on the floor of the House on 30 January 2018. A document titled “EU Exit: Long-Term Economic Analysis Technical Reference Paper”, which sets out further details on the methodology used, is also being published on GOV.UK and copies will be deposited in the Libraries of both Houses.

● EU Exit: Assessment of the security partnership. This assessment compares the Future UK-EU Security Partnership as set out in the Political Declaration with a no deal scenario.

A further document, setting out the Government's legal position on the proposed Withdrawal Agreement, is expected to be published on Monday 3 December. The Attorney General will also make an oral statement to the House of Commons on Monday 3 December.
