Background:
The report set out a referral from Business Support Overview and Scrutiny Committee held on 25 October 2018, following its consideration of a report concerning the potential impact of Brexit.
The report provided some information regarding the Brexit White Paper, published on 12 July 2018, which confirmed the UK’s Brexit negotiating position with the EU and it explained that a series of technical notices had been published by the Government, setting out information to allow businesses and citizens to understand what they would need to do in the event of a ‘no deal’ scenario. The report also explained that the extent of preparatory work by local authorities was varied but general consensus was that the landscape was not sufficiently clear to make detailed plans and preparations.
