Michael Gove admits there 'will be some bumps in the road' in the event of a no-deal Brexit - but says preparations have strengthened since the leaked government report was written
But Mr Gove, the chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, directly disputed that allegation.
"But the document that has appeared in the Sunday Times was an attempt in the past to work out what the very, very worst situation would be, so we could take steps to mitigate that. Gibraltar's Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said the references to the territory's no-deal planning were"out of date" and based on"planning for worst case scenarios which the government has already dealt with".Energy minister Kwasi Kwarteng - who attends cabinet - also dismissed a rise in"scaremongering" about no-deal.
More than 100 MPs have urged the prime minister to immediately recall parliament from its over five-week summer recess and let it sit permanently until Brexit happens.Tory former ministers Dominic Grieve and Guto Bebb were among the signatories of the request in a letter sent this weekend which claims a"creeping and disturbing populism" is taking over his discourse with the EU.
