Asked by: Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat - Carshalton and Wallington)
Question to the Leader of the House:
To ask the Leader of the House, what further legislative changes are needed to enable Departments to complete preparations for the UK leaving the EU without a deal on 31 October 2019; and how much Parliamentary time he estimates is required to pass that legislation.
Answered by Jacob Rees-Mogg
If we leave the EU without a deal then no further primary exit legislation is needed before 31 October. We are confident that the necessary secondary legislation will be in force by 31 October.
