To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the terms on which they provided copies of the 39 Brexit sectoral analyses to the governments of Scotland and Wales allow those governments to share the analyses with relevant committees of the Scottish Parliament and the National Assembly of Wales.
Lord Callanan
Minister of State (Department for Exiting the European Union)
We have provided sectoral information to Parliament as required by the motion passed by the House of Commons on 1 November.
As we made clear in our written ministerial statement on 28 November, the same information was shared with the devolved administrations. The Secretary of State for Exiting the EU has written to the devolved administrations to explain that under the Osmotherly Rules the reports are now the property of the Committees.

The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
