  • Story Text: Britain sought on Tuesday (October 8) to ease concerns about leaving the European Union without a deal, publishing a raft of contingency plans which included a new advice service to help suppliers of medical goods.
    With just 23 days before the United Kingdom is due to leave the bloc, the future of Brexit remains deeply uncertain and both London and Brussels are positioning themselves to avoid blame for a delay or a disorderly no-deal Brexit.
    Britain's parliament, where a majority of lawmakers have tried to prevent a no-deal Brexit, has demanded an update on the government's efforts to try to mitigate the disruption that leaving without a deal is expected to cause.
    The government published an update to those plans on Tuesday in a 155-page document entitled "No-Deal Readiness Report" which covered steps taken on key issues like borders, citizens' rights, energy, industry and Northern Ireland.
