Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what contingency planning his Department has carried out for the possibility that there is no deal reached on the UK leaving the EU.
The Government continues to take a responsible approach in preparing plans for all exit scenarios. Over the past year, every government department has been working at pace to build a detailed understanding of how withdrawing from the EU will affect its existing policies and services across a wide range of outcomes. Planning for all scenarios is in no way representative of how talks are proceeding or indicative of our preferred outcome.
