Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when she plans to publish the eligibility criteria for companies seeking financial support as part of Operation Kingfisher; and if she will make a statement.

We continue to monitor and work closely with businesses across the country to help ensure they are fully prepared for when the UK leaves the EU and are actively considering how best to support them in the run up to and immediately after Brexit.

The Government has been clear that should there be no deal, we would support the economy through whatever appropriate action is necessary.
