Question
There are reports that the Treasury has created an economic impact analysis, providing significant detail on the effect of coronavirus across various sectors of the economy. For each sector, this analysis allocates red, amber and green ratings for revenue, jobs and financial stability. Given the vote tonight, may I ask my right hon Friend why that analysis has not been published?
Answer from Rishi Sunak
My right hon Friend will have seen the analysis we did publish, which talked specifically about sectoral impact. In the document, there were specific links to the various places that people can find GVA and employment by sector and, indeed, the financial resilience of local businesses at some stages by sector and by region. It is that analysis, as we have said, that will determine the particular economic impact in an area. That information is all provided in the report for people to look at.
Not addressed: The specific request to publish the detailed analysis with red, amber, and green ratings was not addressed directly.
