There's the Brexit Readiness Report that came out on Tuesday which seems to roll up the No Deal preparations and policies. Here's the link -

Seems fun! Some highlights I have seen so far;
- We would trade on WTO rules with the EU apart from the Republic of Ireland where there will be no tariffs. Expect to see suddenly a hell of a lot of goods going through the border!
- The UK has dropped the proposed tariff on HGVs from 22% to 10%
- British living in Spain will continue to have access to healthcare until the end of 2020
- Motorists may require an International Driving Permit and insurance Green Card to drive in the EU. They will also need a 'GB' sticker even if they have an EU number plate
- GPDR will come into British law to allow information flow between the UK and EU
- It will no longer be legal to select employees with EU/EEA/Swiss qualifications over employees with other nations qualifications for jobs under WTO rules
- EU registered medicines, medical devices and aircraft will be accepted in the UK without further registration. Cars will not and will require UK type approval
- The UK will lose access to the EU animal tracing system along with the Rapid Alert System
- No sanitary checks will be applied to imports of food in to the UK (!)
It's a big document!
