<p>The UK Government remains focussed on ensuring a smooth and orderly withdrawal
from the EU with a deal as soon as possible, and we have been clear that we do not
want or expect a no deal scenario. However, as a responsible government, we continue
to prepare for all scenarios.</p><p>The Home Office has been planning and preparing
for a no deal scenario for some time, and we have contingency plans in place across
areas including law enforcement, passports and the border. Whatever the outcome of
our exit from the EU, we remain committed to supporting the delivery of the Sustainable
Development Goals both domestically and internationally. The UK’s first Voluntary
National Review (VNR) will be published shortly. The VNR will review UK action both
domestically and internationally in support of Goal 16. It will also outline key challenges
and next steps, recognising that while progress is being made, there is more work
to do.</p>
