We continue to monitor and work closely with businesses across the country to help ensure they are fully prepared for when the UK leaves the EU and are actively considering how best to support them in the run up to and immediately after Brexit.
The Government has been clear that should there be no deal, we would support the economy through whatever appropriate action is necessary.
