answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s policy is for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union with a negotiated deal. Individual Departments are responsible for briefing businesses and other interested parties about contingency planning for all eventualities, and the Cabinet Office is co-ordinating contingency planning across Whitehall. Departments are continually looking at and reviewing workforce plans, reprioritising and assessing changing needs. We expect our ‘no deal’ plans will not be required, but will prepare responsibly to ensure the smoothest exit in all outcomes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 14/01/2019 11:38:24 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery
