UK Minister Gove getting ducks in a row
UK Minister Gove is on the wires saying:
- there has been no formal response received from the EU to PM Johnson's letter
- no certainty that EU will grant Brexit extension
- I must take the steps now to take care of the increased possibility of leaving without a deal
- we must intensify contingency arrangements
The expectations are that the EU would not respond immediately to the Prime Minister's letter as they wait out the legislative process in the UK.
