Andrew Bridgen – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Bridgen on 2016-09-02.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, which economists advised the Government on the short-term economic effects of the UK voting to leave the EU; and which of those economists forecast that there would be a reduction in UK GDP in any quarter of 2016.

Mr David Gauke

HM Treasury’s published analysis of the immediate economic impact of a vote to leave the EU benefitted from a review by Professor Sir

Charles Bean, former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, acting in a personal capacity as an academic consultant to HM Treasury. However, all contents and conclusions from the analysis are the responsibility of HM Treasury.
