Ministers will set out Brexit no deal plans in 84 papers: the full list The technical notices will cover every aspect of modern life from farming and aviation safety to medicines and electricity supplies

More than 80 reports on preparations for a ‘no deal’ Brexit are due to be released from next week.

The technical notices – aimed both at individuals and businesses – will cover all aspects of everyday life from farming and aviation safety to medicines and electricity supplies.

The documents are intended to counter accusations that ministers are not ready for the possibility of a chaotic departure from the European Union.

Ministers also believe that the documents will send the message that the UK will walk away from negotiations if Brussels tries to drive too hard a bargain over the terms of Brexit.

Gloomy news fears

The government had intended to publish the documents over the summer, but abandoned the plans on the basis that it would amount to a relentless ‘drip-feed’ of gloomy news.

Instead the papers are expected to be released by Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab in two or three batches, with the first published next week.

Meanwhile, Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, disclosed he was instructing the London resilience forum, which usually works on contingency plans for terrorist attacks and major disasters, to start examining the risks of a no-deal Brexit

Growing pessimism

The moves come amid growing pessimism on both sides of the negotiating table over the prospects of reaching a deal.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt warned that leaving the EU without a deal would be a “mistake we would regret for generations”.

He later clarified his comments, saying Britain “would survive and prosper” under those circumstances, but it would be a “big mistake for Europe”.
