MPs give damning verdict on government’s Brexit analysis

An influential cross-party group of MP has unanimously agreed the government's economic analysis on Brexit cannot be trusted by parliament

The UK Parliament’s influential Treasury Committee has slammed the government for providing inadequate analysis of the economic impact of Brexit.

In a unanimous report, the cross-party committee said on December 11 that the government’s economic assessment of the UK’s exit from the EU — published on November 28 — “cannot be used” to help MPs decide whether or not to back the Prime Minister’s proposed exit deal.
