Keir Starmer MP, Labour’s Shadow Brexit Secretary, responding to MPs deciding to pass Labour’s motion on the Brexit impact study, said:

“I’m pleased the Government has finally accepted the need for transparency. This is a victory for Parliament and for our country.

“The Speaker has made clear that this decision should be implemented as a matter of urgency. Labour therefore expects ministers to hand these documents over by the end of the week. To not do so would obstruct the will of Parliament.

“I look forward to studying the documents in full and helping to ensure that in future Brexit policy is driven by evidence, not ideology. It’s time the Prime Minister reflected on her reckless redlines that are clearly not in the national interest.”
