<p>Supporting the long-term competitiveness of UK industry and business is a priority
for ministers across Government. Through the Automotive Sector Deal, the Faraday Battery
Challenge and the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles for example, we are
ensuring the UK remains internationally competitive post Exit, and continues to be
a world leader in the development of emerging automotive technologies.</p><p>We remain
focused on ensuring our smooth and orderly withdrawal from the EU with a deal. However,
as a responsible Government we are engaging extensively with all sectors of the economy
to understand their needs and help mitigate the impacts of a no deal exit. In the
last year, DExEU ministers attended approximately 200 engagements with business and
civil society stakeholders. We have published approximately 750 pieces of no deal
communications since August 2018, including 106 technical notices. When necessary
we will continue to update our advice on how people should prepare.</p><p> </p>
