	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2019 answer text <p>Ahead of a potential exit on 29 March, DfT worked with a number of Departments to develop planning assumptions for a potential no deal exit. Since April, Departments have reviewed the planning assumptions and developed new assumptions based on the most recent information from Member States and in light of the extension to 31 October 2019. These assumptions are focused on a reasonable worst case scenario, rather than what we expect to happen, and have already been shared with key partners to support revision of contingency plans, where appropriate, for a potential no deal scenario on 31 October. These planning assumptions remain under review throughout the planning process. The Government does not publish sensitive risk assessments of this nature.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 19/07/2019 13:05:39 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
