Another Brexiter who does not bother to find out how the UK works. UK civil servants have to work impartially and Andrew Turnbull has worked his way up under Conservative administrations. That's one thing that makes this a great country.
Quote:
Turnbull was appointed an Overseas Development Institute Fellow in 1968 and was posted to work as an economist in the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Foreign Trade in Lusaka, Zambia. [3] Turnbull served as Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister under Thatcher and Major (1988-1992). He served as Defra permanent secretary then Permanent Secretary to the Treasury (1998-2002), the latter traditionally the second-highest-ranking Civil Service post, before succeeding to the highest-ranking post.

The impact report on the UK has been leaked. Sorry, don't expect to see any reports along the lines you have suggested as they defy the laws of economics and don't exist.
The impact report examined different scenarios depending on the hardness of the Brexit deal. All showed the country foregoing economic growth compared to if it had stayed in the EU. So, less money for the NHS and our armed forces because of Brexit.
It was the work of many departments as it would be daft to duplicate effort across Government. That's why the report was called EU Exit Analysis — Cross Whitehall Briefing
Hapless David Davis did publish some industry reports whose quality was found wanting. He also sought to convince the country that no impact reports had been produced. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entr...b044d16725e56d
