SMMT SLAMS 'UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE' BREXIT SITUATION

In a strongly worded statement, SMMT Chief Exec Mike Hawes has said that it is 'utterly unacceptable' that no clear vision for Brexit has yet emerged.

“While we’ve avoided a ‘no deal’ Brexit on Friday, it is utterly unacceptable that, more than two years since negotiations started, industry still does not know what the UK’s relationship with the EU will be in the coming weeks and months" he wrote.

Government and Parliament must use this extension  purposefully to take ‘no deal’ off the table for good, and guarantee a positive long-term resolution that delivers frictionless trade. If they fail, we face yet another devastating ‘no deal’ precipice on 31 October”.
