Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent steps his Department has taken to prepare the education sector for the effects of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

Leaving the EU with a deal remains the government’s top priority. This has not changed.

The department has published “no deal notices” on GOV.UK[1] to provide information and advice to schools and to further education and higher education institutions. The purpose of these notices is to help them prepare in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
