Impact Assessments - Do they exist - or did they ever?

[IWalkLikeHimaMartian]

David Davis questioned over Brexit impact assessments
The government has not carried out any impact assessments of leaving the EU on the UK economy, Brexit Secretary David Davis has told MPs.

Mr Davis had previously said the government had done 57 studies on 85% of the UK economy about the impact of Brexit.

BBC News had a look in its archives.

David Davis has said, several times, that the government had carried out Impact Assessments on Brexit.
He agreed to disclose these to Parliament.
Now he is saying that they do not exist.
Is he suffering from Doggit's complaint of fallible (meaning "convenient") memory fades?
Or is he suffering from **** end's complaint of lying each and every time he needs to in order to pursue his own ideological political ends?

I think David Davis is suffering from a 'dog ate my homework' moment!

They would be as much use as a crystal ball.

They would be as much use as a crystal ball.

Their usefulness is not the issue. The issue is: do they exist, or did they ever?
Perhaps they were of more use to the Remainers than those that commissioned them. So conveniently they do not exist now.
But if they did exist, and clearly they did (or DD was inventing their existence) they are public documents and should be made available to Parliament.

Either he was lying then, or he is lying now! Or he was/is suffering brain fade.

Whats a greater work of fiction Blair Iraq War dossier or Davis 57 Impact reports.

No sane politician would ever reveal the true impact of Brexit
