Thursday 25th October 2018
Asked by:
Mike Wood (Conservative - Kingswinford and South Staffordshire)
Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what steps the Government has taken to cooperate with other EU states on those countries' preparations for the UK leaving the EU without a deal.
Answered by Chris Heaton-Harris
We are committed to negotiating a successful exit. As a responsible Government we are also preparing for the unlikely scenario in which we leave without a deal. This includes cooperating with Member States to minimise disruption to citizens and businesses. We will continue to impress upon Member States our joint responsibility to work together.
The European Commission have also made clear Member States should take the steps necessary to prepare for this scenario.
