To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether he has plans to hold discussions with Cabinet colleagues on businesses in Scotland deploying no-deal contingency plans for after the UK leaves the EU.

We have always been clear that our aim is to have a deal in place so we can leave the EU on 29 March 2019. I regularly meet with Cabinet colleagues to discuss preparations for the UK as we exit the EU. We will continue to provide comprehensive information to businesses to help them prepare for EU Exit, as we continue to push for a deal but make sensible preparations for no-deal.
