Jeremy Hunt to unveil his plans for no deal Brexit

01 Jul, 2019

British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who is one of the two contenders to become next Brtian prime minister, is set to unveil on Monday his plans for a no-deal departure from the European Union (EU) in London.

The Tory leadership contender will outline his plans for a no-deal Brexit, which includes a £6billion pledge to the fishing and farming industries and help for small businesses. In a speech, Hunt, who is fighting frontrunner Boris Johnson to become the next prime minister, will outline his plans in a detailed 10-point plan for leaving without a deal.

Although it is not Hunt's first choice to leave the EU without a deal, he says the Westminster still needs to be prepared.

“If you’re a sheep farmer in Shropshire or a fishermen in Peterhead I have a simple message for you: I know you face uncertainty if we have to leave the EU without a deal,” Hunt is to say at the speech in London, The Guardian reported.

The 160,000 Conservative Party members will begin voting next week and Theresa May's replacement is expected to be announced on  July 23
