To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, if he will make an assessment of the financial effect on Scottish businesses of those businesses' contingency plans in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal; and if he will make a statement.
David Mundell
The Secretary of State for Scotland
The Government has delivered on its commitment to provide appropriate analysis to Parliament with a robust, objective assessment of how exiting the EU may affect the economy of the UK, sectors, nations and regions in the long run.
The analysis considers four analytical scenarios: the UK position set out in the July 2018 white paper, a hypothetical FTA, an EEA-type relationship and a no-deal scenario.
The analysis showed that the deal that has been agreed is the best deal on offer, when it comes to protecting jobs and our economy while also respecting the result of the referendum and realising the opportunities of Brexit.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
A document issued by the Government laying out its policy, or proposed policy, on a topic of current concern.Although a white paper may occasion consultation as to the details of new legislation, it does signify a clear intention on the part of a government to pass new law. This is a contrast with green papers, which are issued less frequently, are more open-ended and may merely propose a strategy to be implemented in the details of other legislation.
