Department for Exiting the European Union written question – answered at on 10 January 2020.
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether he has made an economic impact assessment of the provisions of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill; and if he will make a statement.
In October 2019, the Government published an Impact Assessment in support of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, in line with statutory requirements.
It is a standard assessment which focuses on the likely direct costs and benefits to businesses associated with the provisions of the Bill, for example familiarisation/administration costs. It does not assess wider impacts of the Withdrawal Agreement on the UK economy, which is considered outside the scope of the Bill.
