MPs demand fresh Brexit analysis from Treasury and Bank of England

Treasury Committee wants up-to-date analysis after initial report late last year was criticised as too optimistic

The UK parliament’s influential Treasury Committee has demanded up-to-date analysis from the Treasury and the Bank of England on how different Brexit scenarios will affect the economy.

The call comes just days before the next UK prime minister is announced. If front runner Boris Johnson is elected by Conservative Party members, he has pledged to try to renegotiate the current deal with Brussels.  If that is not possible, he wants to take the UK out of the European Union by October 31 without an agreement in place.
