It is 'unbelievable' that the British government is contemplating leaving the European Union next month without a deal to smooth its exit, the finance chief of Associated British Foods, one of Britain's biggest food producers, said.
"For it even to be contemplated - a hard Brexit where you've got no arrangement with your major trading partners and when we're so reliant on them for the food supply chain - I find it unbelievable," John Bason told Reuters after a trading update on Monday.
"The consequences of getting this wrong for people are major and I want people to understand that," he said, adding a hard Brexit would be 'irresponsible'.
