A number of
constituents have written to me with a campaign email entitled
“ A no-deal Brexit,” and sets out concerns over the NHS and a
no deal Brexit.
The link within the
email refers to an advert that was placed by 38 degrees, the authors of the
email now being sent. It is unfortunate that scare stories continue to
circulate and are promoted by any group over the prospect of us leaving the EU.
It is poor judgement in my view for any pressure group to whip a story with an
advert and then having created that concern, ask supporters to send a campaign
email.
The decision to leave
the EU was taken at the referendum and article 50 sets out that we will seek a
deal with the EU. In the event that proves not possible then we leave on WTO
terms.
As has been widely
reported on media websites including the BBC, Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark
Sedwill said in relation to leaving the EU there had been "a lot of
preparation".
He added: "We have
got the government in pretty good shape and public services in pretty good
shape for it".
