	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>Yellowhammer has always considered the reasonable worst case scenario and never a ‘base’ or ‘central’ scenario. This was confirmed in the NAO report, published in March 2019, which said that in Operation Yellowhammer “Departments are working on the basis of a reasonable worst case scenario.” Some iterations of the Reasonable worst case scenario planning assumptions have used the words ‘base scenario’ as a subtitle for the contextual assumptions, outlining the background to a no-deal brexit.</p><p>Yellowhammer reasonable worst case planning assumptions are kept under review and updated planning assumptions for exiting the European Union without a deal will be published in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 07/10/2019 14:00:02 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
