<p>The Department for Transport (DfT) began laying EU Exit statutory instruments (SIs)
in July 2018, almost as soon as the EU (Withdrawal) Act received Royal Assent. DfT
is ranked among the top three departments for delivery, having since laid in draft
over 30 of our EU Exit SIs. Recognising that we have a significant number to lay,
the Department continues to work at pace to ensure delivery, while adhering to the
prescribed processes. The laying of the remaining SIs that we consider crucial to
be in place for exit day will be spread between now and February.</p><p> </p><p>In
relation to services through the Channel Tunnel the Government continues to work closely
with a range of partners, including the relevant governments and Eurotunnel, on contingency
plans to ensure that trade can continue to move as freely as possible between the
UK and Europe, including in the event of no deal.</p>
