The Overseas Territories, including Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands, are responsible for their own contingency planning. We regularly meet with the Overseas Territories, and provide advice and support on contingency planning to ensure they are prepared to trade with the EU in all scenarios. In the event of a no deal, HMG has agreed to guarantee funding for specific EU projects in the Overseas Territories, should it be required.
