UK has fiscal capacity to cope with no-deal Brexit, Hammond says

BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - The United Kingdom has the fiscal capacity to cope with leaving the European Union without having first secured a deal, British finance minister Philip Hammond said on Monday.

When asked about health spending, Hammond said that voters would have to accept that if they wanted an expanding health service they would have to pay a little more tax.
