Island prepared for 'No Deal' Brexit

Thu, 20 Dec 2018

With the ongoing debate surrounding the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, there is heightened interest in ‘No Deal’ preparations being made in the UK.

Chief Minister Howard Quayle MHK said: ‘The interests of the Isle of Man have been strongly represented in discussions with the UK Government on a number of issues and in respect of both a Deal and No Deal outcome, and I am confident that we are as fully prepared as we can be at this stage. This does not mean that we are being complacent and recognise this is an unfolding and complex issue, and matters continue to develop.’

The Isle of Man Government has been working with the UK Government for many months to prepare for a potential scenario where the UK leaves the EU without a negotiated settlement in place.
