LONDON (Reuters) – There is no guarantee that preparations made so far will not avert disruption in markets if there is a no-deal Brexit, Britain’s Financial Conduct Authority said on Wednesday.

FCA Chief Executive Andrew Bailey told a House of Lords committee that he could give no assurance there would not be market disruption if Britain crashes out of the bloc next month with no transition deal.
