Around £2 billion has already been allocated for spending by Whitehall departmentsfor Brexit preparations, and Chancellor Philip Hammond said a further £2 billion willbe shared out in 2019/20 – prioritising borders, trade and security.
While Mrs May plans to bring her deal back to the Commons in mid-January to bevoted on, it is widely tipped to be o�icially rejected.
Mr Hodges’ warning came on the same day that Britain’s �ive main business groupsissued a strongly worded warning about a no-deal Brexit, saying many �irms are nowreaching “the point of no return”.
Companies are pausing or diverting investment that should be boostingproductivity, jobs and pay, said the British Chambers of Commerce, CBI, EEF,Institute of Directors and Federation of Small Businesses.
“It will be a mess,” Mr Hodges concluded.
