with me now isjoe 0wen from the independent think tank the institute for government. new report into the uk's readiness for brexit. welcome. what is the conclusion?” think it is looking at it now with so think it is looking at it now with so little time to go, i think it is very unlikely we will be ready, and pa rt very unlikely we will be ready, and part of that is a reflection of challenges of getting new systems up and running, and new people on the ground, but it is also just a reflection of what a humongous task this is to do within just three yea rs, this is to do within just three years, and there is so much that is not within the government's control in order to be ready, so a whole host of businesses will need to be ready to adapt to new rules, systems, regulations, paperwork, it systems. and then there is the question of how the eu response. a lot of this, the uk is having the kind of guess, and they have spend a lot of time trying to work out how they think the eu will respond. the eu has said so far that we would apply the letter of the law. the letter of

the government isn‘t ready for the prospect of the uk leaving the eu with no deal in two months‘ time. ministers are working to replace eu legislation but the nonpartisan think—tank, the instituteld have to do an enormous amount of stuff and the bald truth is there is way too much stuff to be done in two months than can possibly be done in two months. it isa can possibly be done in two months. it is a fair point to say that, actually, this of its very nature would take years and years and yea rs, would take years and years and years, so would take years and years and years, so it is not a question of lack of preparation or people not trying hard enough, this is a vast task. you reported as if it were something like preparing for the 0lympic something like preparing for the olympic games, which would take a decade. the olympics took 12 years, and things like automatic recruitment the pensions got 12 yea rs. recruitment the pensions got 12 years. so let's start where you begin, asi years. so let's start where you begin, as i understand it, with the laws that they to be changed. what are they and which are ready? well, there is too much legislation to get through parliament by mar

this is a report by the think—tank the british institute for government. e lack of preparation — would be extremely damaging." no deal is the scenario where we reach march 29, there's no agreement at all — and the uk drops out of the eu, and straight onto world trade organisation terms. the institute goes on that the consequences of no deal "cannot be dismissed as a mere blip." leaving a no deal brexit for a moment, brexit uncertainty is already hurting businesses. today, the uk auto industry said that investment in car production fell by almost half last year. if you look at the past few months, investment has really stalled. you can understand why. as you get closer to the leaving date, companies looking to invest, we will wait and see. we want to know what the future relationship as before making multi—million pound investments. this is playing out in europe too. at the moment, british supermarkets can order fruit and vegetables from eu countries in the morning, and sell them in the uk within 2a hours. no deal will impact on that. adam fleming has been l

government for no deal? well, according to the institute for government, there is a very significant risk that the laws that apply in the uk, with immediate effect of the leave with no deal. so they need to be replaced, but five big bills in parliament on things like trade, agriculture, and immigration are given a red light, suggesting major challenges to get them passed. the government's fragile majority makes things worse. another law on international health care is still thrashing amber. the ifg says the government is also behind on passing smaller changes to the law. only about 100 of the 600 required for a no—deal brexit have been approved. roughly 250 have not even been tabled in parliament yet. an even bigger risk, the ifg says, is that new processes, systems, and staff have to be in place by the end of march to avoid disruption. in many cases, they simply will not be ready. eight out of 11 broad policy areas including borders, health, and law and justice are given a red light, meaning the government will be unable to avoid some major negative impacts. all of this of course is the work of government,

government is asking us to do —— i cannot vote for this deal. with me now to discuss what might happen next with the brexit process, is tim durrant from the instituteseems to know? what do you think will happen tomorrow? is it more than likely that theresa may will lose? that is the clear expectation. not clear by how big the margin will be. some people have said they might come round to it but as we have seen, or government resignations —— more government resignations —— more government resignations. is it possible to guess how big the defeat will be? quite significant, it won't be close, i don‘t think. will be? quite significant, it won't be close, i don't think. the suggestion has been according to our correspondent at westminster, that the government feels if it is anything up to a hundred, she is safe, but beyond that, up to 200, it will get very difficult indeed. and especially difficult for the eu to decide that it is worth making any potential changes. do those figures ring true? that is right. the eu wa nt to ring true? that is right. the eu want to know that whoever they are negotiating with can get the deal over the line, so if parliamen

and to help answer them, with me are georgina wright from the institute for government, and anand menon a couple of things. firstly, it is an argument that you shouldn't take it off the table because people like the irish, dutch and french are worried about it. that you are very well aware that no deal will impact more on us well aware that no deal will impact more on us than them, so in that senseit more on us than them, so in that sense it is not entirely credible. the other crucial thing, no deal should be on the table if you are prime minister because it scares people in parliament, who, if they think no deal is the only alternative, they might end up voting for her deal. in the end it is being seen as a negotiating tactic? certainly some parliamentarians think that threatening to leave the no deal be you is likely to grab more concessions. i don't think there is much evidence for that. what is clear is that if the uk did leave with no deal, trust would be at an all—time low. and it would make coming back to the negotiating table much more difficult. carl on text asks: if we crash o
