The Prime Minister
I refer the hon. Lady to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Coventry South (Mr Cunningham).
Alan Brown (Kilmarnock and Loudoun) (SNP)
With regard to transport, the previous Brexit Secretary admitted that he did not understand the criticality of Dover. Shamefully, it took from June 2016 until just last month before the Transport Secretary bothered to go and visit the port of Dover. After two years of the Transport Secretary promising an aviation agreement, he now admits that talks have not even begun. Does this not prove, first, that there are no plans in place for no deal; and secondly, that this absolute ineptitude means that there is no way that this Prime Minister would be able to negotiate proper agreements in an implementation period?
The Prime Minister
There are plans in place for no deal, and the Government are continuing to work on those.
