In the event that we leave the EU without a deal, the financial settlement as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement would no longer apply.

The Government recognises that the UK has obligations to the EU, and the EU obligations to the UK, that will survive the UK’s withdrawal—and that these need to be resolved. But in a no deal scenario we would need to determine how to do so.
