Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on the ‎legal profession of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

The Government recognises its responsibility to fully consider all possible outcomes of the negotiations. The professional and business services technical notice published by the Government on 12 October sets out the implications of no deal for legal professionals and business owners, and directs them to relevant regulatory bodies for detailed information.
