Treasury select committee chairwoman Ms Morgan said: "Many of us have been clear that parliament will not allow a no-deal situation to unfold, and with less than 12 weeks to go until 29 March Conservative MP Oliver Letwin and Labour MP Sarah Wollaston have tabled a Finance Bill amendment limiting the government's spending power should a no-deal Brexit situation occur, potentially bringing about a scenario similar to the current US federal government shutdown. The amendment is backed by Democrat such as Sir Oliver Letwin and Sarah Wollaston , as well as Labour 's Hilary Benn . Liberal Democrat leader Morgan and Cooper's had previously proposed a related measure to prevent certain tax collection if parliamentary approval for Brexit was not sought, but has now said his party will support Vince Cable amendment.
