Proceeding contribution from Alan Brown (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 March 2019. It occurred during Emergency debate on EU Exit Preparations: Ferry Contracts.


EU Exit Preparations: Ferry Contracts

We could argue that in principle the Department for Transport was trying to do the right things in terms of contingency planning because, let’s face it, a no-deal Brexit could happen. But in practice it has been a pure and utter failure—a shambles. That is the difference. Contingency planning needs to be absolutely that—putting in place proper, robust procedures for the contingencies. It is clear that that has not happened.
