answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2018 answer text <p>As we continue to make progress in negotiations, we are increasingly confident that we will secure a deal with the EU and that the prospect of leaving negotiations with ‘no deal’ has receded significantly. However, as a responsible government we are preparing for all possible outcomes. Departments’ plans are well developed and are designed to respond to all scenarios, including the unlikely possibility that we leave the EU without a deal in place. Some delivery has already become evident, and more will become public over the coming weeks and months.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 03/07/2018 14:51:02 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
