Abstract of issue
•This assembly will believe development at the Government’s plans for mitigating the quick impacts of a No Deal Brexit.
•The Civil Contingencies Secretariat held a -day workshop last week to review departments’ plans, assumptions, interdependencies and next steps.
HMT objectives
1.Emphasise the importance of creating XWH cross Whitehall communications structure that may help take care of trust within the experience of contingency plans being prompted – particularly necessary for financial services.
2.Explain that departments have to be raising Yellowhammer costs throughout the standard channels – via their spending groups for in-yr pressures, and of their bids for 19/20 Brexit allocations for spending that 12 months. Their first name need to be inside prioritisation.
3.Reaffirm the will for consistent planning assumptions throughout plans … aviation and rail get admission to to the EU.
4.Remind departments of the will to consider the financial … commercial companies that play a role of their contingency plans.
