This miscellaneous Bill is needed because we may potentially be heading towards a no-deal Brexit. Nobody wants a no-deal Brexit, so we are still working incredibly hard to avoid it. If we get a deal, whether on 29 March or some other date later, this particular Bill becomes redundant. A large body of work has been done in this area, but one would almost be saying a novena in the hope it becomes redundant.
