The impact report will be of limited value, therefore, as have been other forecasts in the past, so this won't wash with your 'hard' Brexiteers.

It's only remainers who are looking seriously on whether we can cancel Article 50. That isn't going to happen. Apply for an extension, perhaps, but I don't know what good that will do other than annoy the public.

The reports will take into account the small upside. But as we know, it's dwarfed the far larger and perrmanent downside unfortunately.
