Calls for David Davis to resign as impact assessment lies are laid bare

David Davis has been called to resign over lies about the Brexit impact assessments.

The Brexit Secretary was today forced to admit that the government has not assessed the impact of Brexit for different sections of economy to the EU select committee.

He said assessments across several industries were never carried out because “the range of different outcomes is too wide”.

But the revelations are in stark contrast to what he said in front of the same committee in December 2016.

Some of these are still to be concluded.
