As a former civil servant I'm pretty sure the Civil Service will have planned - whatever the instructions from ministers.
-
If they didn't, it was a gross dereliction of duty & massive change from automatic pre-election contingency planning in my day.

I do hope you are right
-
Before GEs each govt dept prepared for major manifesto commitments so could change direction from day 1 of new regime.
-
Should have done same for Brexit. But I left 20 years ago & much has been lost from old CS culture / practice.
-
Surely only possible when you have manifesto commitmentsto work with in the 1st place? 1/2

IDS says they were just offering 'a series of promises that were possibilities' 2/2

Leave were apparently campaigning on the basis of Panglossian optimism. You can't plan for that.

how far will you defend the indefensible. Leave campaign don't have a clue where to go now - was a badly planned lie from day one
-
They don't need a plan, THE GOVERNMENT DOES!
-
they don't need a plan! Beyond belief. The government will govern, but Leave been exposed as lying & clueless.
-
The Leave campaign are not the Government. The Gov called the Ref and one would hope that it has a contingency plan.
