Following the vote in Westminster yesterday, the prospect of a hard, cliff-edge Brexit is very real and we must prepare for it. In recent times, has the Department carried out an assessment of the impact such an scenario would have on the economy - in the context of employment numbers, tax receipts and growth - in 2019 and 2020? We have the paper from late 2016 that the Department produced in conjunction with the ESRI. I am talking about the more immediate impact this year and next year on tax receipts, employment and economic growth. Has the Department modelled that? If so, will the findings be published?
