The Prime Minister now has three days to come back to Parliament with an amended plan.
In a statement, Senator Gorst said: ‘Jersey will scrutinise any revised Withdrawal terms. We will maintain our objective that any transition period should apply to Jersey and on the basis of the current Protocol 3 arrangements.
‘Until an agreement is reached, the default position remains that the United Kingdom will leave the EU on 29 March with no deal. As I have made clear, this is the basis on which the Government of Jersey’s Brexit preparations have been built.
‘All government departments have prepared individual Brexit Readiness Plans, setting out their objectives in the event of a no deal, risks and mitigations, and resource requirements.
‘The key risks we are considering include supply chain disruption and impacts on our critical national infrastructure. The Government of Jersey continues to work closely with the UK government to ensure that our plans align.
‘I want to reassure you that, whatever new proposals are brought, and whatever form Brexit finally takes, we will continue to ensure that the interests of Jersey are communicated to the UK government, and taken into account. And that Jersey will continue to be a place where business and residents can remain confident in their future.’
