We heard some discussion in the Chamber earlier today about the sector-specific analysis, but surely more analysis has been done, sector by sector, on a no-deal Brexit. I would find it scary to believe that everything that has been done has been published, as was suggested earlier. There has to be serious consideration given to the impact of no deal, sector by sector and region by region. It may not be released for whatever reason, negotiations are continuing and so on, but will the Minister put me at my ease by saying that work has been carried out? Is it not time, or when is the time, for the Minister to release that information and make it available to the public, and to us as committee members, to discuss and plan the best response for those sectors in the event of no deal? Otherwise, a rabbit will be pulled out of a hat because we have not seen any of the detail.
