To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what representations he has received from businesses in Scotland on the financial effect of contingency plans made by those businesses in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

Delivering the deal is the Government’s top priority, and we do not want or expect a no-deal scenario. However, as we have said, a responsible government should prepare for every eventuality, including the possibility of no-deal. As part of these preparations I have held several cross sector round tables to hear representations from businesses in Scotland. These roundtables have included Food and Drink, Agriculture, Financial Sector and Fishing.
