Written Question
Border Delivery Group
Tuesday 8th October 2019

Asked by: Angela Smith (Liberal Democrat - Penistone and Stocksbridge)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will publish the detailed planning assumptions of the Border Delivery Group for each month since January 2019.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

The Government recently published its reasonable worst case planning assumptions on 11 September, setting out the Government’s assessment as of 2 August.

Planning assumptions are held under constant review, to reflect the latest evidence and analysis of the potential impact of leaving the EU without a deal. The Government’s updated planning assumptions will be published in due course.
