It will be heralded today as a boost for Britain’s chances of going it alone if endgame Brexit talks fail.

The development emerges as the Cabinet will also be asked to approve a mutli-billion pound no deal spending spree in eight weeks time.

Theresa May’s top table will hold a marathon three hour meeting on the emergency scenario in No10 this morning to take stock of preparations for it all across Whitehall.

They include investing in a raft of new IT systems and infrastructure projects to manage a cliff edge Brexit.

Mobile roaming will be one of 30 new technical notices released today after the Downing Street summit in a bid to prepare the country, after a first tranche in August.

The roaming breakthrough means customers will save as much as £700 a month on the most expensive roaming tariffs.

Scrapping rip off roaming charges in 2015 was deemed a major success of the EU.

It had been feared that a cliff-edge Brexit would see the rip off return.

Other notices include instructions on the need to renew all passports for travel to the EU if they expire within six months, as well as what to do to make sure UK driving licenses will still be valid.

There will also be details on how new car and van emissions will be affected, as well as maritime security and a series on the environment.

Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab said last night:

“With six months to go until the UK leaves the European Union, we are stepping up our ‘no deal’ preparations so that Britain can continue to flourish, regardless of the outcome of negotiations.

“These technical notices are part and parcel of our sensible, pragmatic approach to preparing for all outcomes.

“Getting a deal with the European Union is still by far and away the most likely outcome, and I will continue to champion our Chequers proposals with Michel Barnier as the best way of securing the deep and special partnership we want with the EU.”

The PM also stepped up her no deal rhetoric to boost her hand in negotiations yesterday.
