In 2013, UK commissioned modelling on economic impact of an EU-US free trade agreement on UK.

Ambitious scenario assumed 100% removal of tariffs & 25% removal of non-tariff barriers w/ 37.5% removed in chemical, motor vehicles & business ICT services.

(For those confused by the table - only 50% of total non-tariff measures considered 'actionable'.)
So, to be clear, what was modelled was an incredibly ambitious free trade agreement with the US.
This ambitious free trade agreement with the US was predicted to make UK GDP being 0.35 percent larger by 2027 than it would have been otherwise.
