The British government is working with businesses to help them prepare for the departure from the European Union even as it helps them cope with the coronavirus pandemic, cabinet office minister Michael Gove (pictured) said on Wednesday (27 May), writes Kate Holton.

“We are not considering an implementation phase,” he told a parliamentary committee, adding that staying within the purview of the EU would mean additional costs for taxpayers.

“What we will do is make sure that businesses adjust appropriately to the situation on the 1st of January once we’re outside the Customs Union and the Single Market.

“Obviously we’ve all been preoccupied by the COVID pandemic ... it is also the case though that we can step up our engagement with business in advance of 31 December.”
