"The UK wants a deep and special partnership with the European Union, a partnership that spans a new economic relationship and a new relationship on security", the spokeswoman said.

One senior minister said: "How are we supposed to know what kind of Brexit is best if we aren't being provided with our own assessments of what they mean for our future prospects?"

"Ministers are fast running out of time to turn the negotiations around".

A stand-off between Britain and the European Union over the future access to single market for London's vast financial services industry is shaping up to be one of the key Brexit battlegrounds before Britain is due to leave the bloc in March 2019.

"Some might say it is pointless getting the Treasury's view", said one government member "because the Brexiteers like Johnson and Gove will dismiss it as biased rubbish and will never take it seriously".

"A no-deal Brexit runs the risk of completely undermining the growth and development of recent years and could see London fall way down the league table of global science and tech hubs".

Transition arrangements, trade and security will be on the agenda of Brexit negotiations later this year before Britain leaves the European Union in March 2019.

"We will not be paying for market access", he told reporters ahead of the gathering.

If the United Kingdom leaves the European Union in March 2019 with no deal on the single market, customs union or transition arrangements - which remains a real possibility given the short amount of time left to secure a deal and the government's mishandling of the negotiations to date - there could be 482,000 fewer jobs across the entire United Kingdom, together with 15% - or £46.8bn - less investment than with a continuation of the status quo. Why should you cut yourself off from the world's leading financial centre right on your doorstep and find yourself beholden to other centres like Hong Kong, Singapore, New York or Tokyo?

The European Union has been engaging in potentially unlawful tactics as it desperately seeks to gain the upper hand in Brexit talks.

Asked if a soft Brexit would encourage other countries to leave, the Chancellor said: "I can understand that paranoia".

In his interview with Die Welt, Hammond likened the current phase of negotiations to a romantic ritual: "It's a courtship".
