I read earlier part of the liaison committee minutes, and it seems May said: "Over August and September we are going to be releasing a number of technical notifications to set out what UK citizens and businesses need to do in a no deal scenario, so making much more public awareness of the preparations," she told the Liaison Committee, which is made up of the chairman of all Commons Select Committees."

For comparison, the EU has already released 68 aimed at businesses.

I wonder who will get the short straw of writing the ones aimed at what "UK citizens" need to do. They can say preparations need to be made, and be accused of scaremongering and talking the country down. Or they can say "All is going to be fine, no precautions needed" and hope the first month or so after a no-deal is not chaotic.

Or will that paper never actually get published? Perhaps, but the papers at least are going to be demanding it and referring back to this promise.
