EXCLUSIVE: No-deal Brexit funding call

Smith Square has pushed Marsham Street to provide funding for councils to implement their no-deal Brexit plans as Whitehall urges local authorities to act now.

Smith Square’s lobbying comes after civil servants suggested the sector needed to plan on a no-deal basis now as a precaution.
