The U.K.'s Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer plans to pursue his counterpart, David Davis, for contempt of parliament after Davis' department withheld material from reports on the economic impact of Brexit before sharing them with a select committee.

Starmer said on the BBC's Today program Tuesday that Davis' actions were contrary to what the government and parliament had agreed upon. In a House of Commons vote on November 2, MPs used an arcane parliamentary rule to compel the government to hand 58 analyses on the impact of Brexit on different economic sectors to the Brexit select committee.

Davis said that his department had removed from the papers any commercially sensitive information or anything that would harm the U.K.'s negotiating position in the Brexit talks. But opposition MPs suspect that the real target was anything "politically embarrassing" for the government.

Starmer said he plans to ask the speaker of the House of Commons whether the government is in contempt of parliament, saying the government is under an "obligation" to pass the information to the Brexit committee.

"Here we are at the 11th hour, having agreed a course of action," Starmer said, "And the government decides to withhold information."

Conservative Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg also supports the full disclosure of the information. He told The Guardian the government was “in serious constitutional waters if it doesn’t provide the full information” to the committee.
