UK to Kick-Start No-Deal Brexit Preparations Due to Deadlock Situation
15:03 GMT 18.12.2018 (Updated: 17:08 GMT 12.04.2023) UK Cabinet agreed on Tuesday to intensify efforts to get ready for a Brexit no-deal scenario, following the delay of the Parliament's meaningful vote until mid-January, announced by Prime Minister Theresa May Monday.
Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay stated Tuesday that British businesses must prioritize preparations for UK's withdrawal from the EU without a deal.
"The government's priority remains to secure a deal, but we need to recognize with 14 weeks to go, that a responsible government is preparing for the eventuality that we leave without a deal," he noted.

To facilitate the preparation process, British companies will receive a 100-plus page online pack.
Barclay's statement comes after Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn tabled his proposal to launch a no-confidence vote in UK Prime Minister Theresa May, who stated earlier on Monday that the parliament would not vote on Brexit earlier than the third week of January — more than a month after it was initially arranged.
