Britain avoiding publishing impact assessment of Brexit trade deal 

Britain’s trade with the EU has been hit by higher costs, delayed shipments and reduced freight volumes since the new economic relationship started on January 1

Britain is refusing to publish a commonplace trade deal impact assessment report regarding its Brexit deal with the EU.

The British government will not publish an impact assessment of its trade accord with the EU, despite producing similar reviews of other major trade deals it has signed.

“We’ve set out the detail of the deal, and the opportunities and benefits it provides the UK,” said British prime minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman Jamie Davies, when repeatedly asked if the British government would publish a formal assessment.
