NEW: I’ve been told by civil service source that Operation Yellowhammer (no deal planning) has been stood down. Government has confirmed.
The government has spent at least roughly £2billion (or £30 per person) on no deal preparations up to now.
Still perhaps no surprise it’s happening now. Just at time they want to convince Labour no deal isn’t going to happen, govt shuts down no deal prep. And it makes sense. After all, they have a deal.
The minimum amount of money the government has spent on no deal Brexit preparations would equate to around £3 million per constituency.
