In the light of yesterday’s vote, should businesses in Rugby accelerate their own preparations for leaving the EU without a deal?
James Cleverly
The Government have always made it clear that our preferred option is to leave with a deal. We could have done that in a timely manner had this House not voted for delay, but until we have certainty, the only credible and reasonable thing for businesses to do is to continue to prepare for a no-deal Brexit.
