What the petition asks
Following David Davis MP's appearance before the select committee on 6/12/2017, I remain unsatisfied by his explanation for why no impact assessments have been done.
It is my belief that either he was dishonest in his testimony, or he has been willfully negligent in preparing for the negotiations.

14/12/2016 Mr Davis claims to be “in the midst of carrying out about 57 sets of analysis”.
25/6/2017 To the BBC: “...nearly 60 sectoral analyses already done.”
26/10/2017 MPs told analyses in “excruciating detail”.
1/11/2017 Mr Davis told to submit analyses to Parliament. He states it is “not the case” that these analyses “exist”. He has “a range of documents developed ...since the referendum”, but needs “time” to “bring together this information in a way that is accessible”.
