What the petition asks
David Davis informed parliament that his department would carry out impact reports detailing the financial impact of Brexit on the UK economy.
However these reports do not exist. I am calling for this to be properly investigated, and the correct action to be taken.

In December 2016, Secretary of State for Exiting the EU David Davis informed parliament that his department would carry out “about 57 sets of analyses”. These would detail the financial impact of Brexit on sectors vital to the UK economy.
On 6th December 2017, David Davis admitted that these reports do not exist. I am calling for this to be properly investigated, and the correct action to be taken.
