To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has contingency plans to impose Martial law in the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.
'Martial Law' is not a defined term in the UK and is not a phrase recognised in UK Policing doctrine. The Police are responsible for Public Order in the UK and the Ministry of Defence has no plans to utilise military personnel for public order in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Defence remains closely engaged with other Government departments on wider no-deal contingency planning and remains available to support the civil authorities if necessary.

Whilst there have been no formal requests for military support in the event of a no deal Brexit, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has engaged with other Government Departments and local authorities. This engagement, including at Cabinet level, has resulted in the development of a package of 3,500 regular and reserve personnel put on standby to support the implementation of 'no deal' contingency plans. These personnel are in addition to existing MOD plans to respond to incidents in the UK under the Military Aid to the Civil Authorities policy.

Government Departments have been analysing the UK statute book and directly applicable EU law in their areas of responsibility to enable an assessment of the scale of the changes needed. This work is ongoing and is likely to include the repeal, but also the amendment, of provisions in Acts.
In the Government White Paper on the Repeal Bill, Legislating for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, published on 30 March 2017, we estimated that around 800-1,000 EU-exit related Statutory Instruments will be required.
