A secret group at the heart of the UK government is drawing up plans to kick-start the British economy in the event of a no-deal Brexit through options that range from cutting taxes and boosting investment to slashing tariffs.
The plan, dubbed “Project After” by some ministers, is being marshalled by Mark Sedwill, who as cabinet secretary is head of the civil service. It has brought together senior figures from the Cabinet Office, the Treasury, the business department and the international trade department, in close contact with the Bank of England.
“One Brexiter said that the group’s discussions addressed the question: “Are there good things that we can do with no-deal?” but had not reached agreement on the way forward.”
