BREXIT secretary David Davis was accused of treating Parliament with “contempt” by MPs yesterday after he reluctantly handed over heavily edited documents relating to the economic impact of leaving the EU.

Opposition MPs, including some Conservatives expressed fury that the 850-page dossier detailing research about the potential impact of Brexit on 58 sectors had been censored with commercially sensitive details omitted from the papers.

The government claims that revealing the details would impinge on negotiations with Brussels.
