Yellowhammer has always considered the reasonable worst case scenario and never a \u2018base\u2019 or \u2018central\u2019 scenario. This was confirmed in the NAO report, published in March 2019, which said that in Operation Yellowhammer \u201cDepartments are working on the basis of a reasonable worst case scenario.\u201d Some iterations of the Reasonable worst case scenario planning assumptions have used the words \u2018base scenario\u2019 as a subtitle for the contextual assumptions, outlining the background to a no-deal brexit.<\/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>
