[QUOTE="nivilla1982, post: 7525714, member: 45400"] Sir Jeremy Heywood he told MPs there had been no formal contingency planning for a Leave vote, as the government's official position had been to remain in the EU. "What we didn't do is what we do during a general election campaign, when you have a manifesto from the opposition that has very specific pledges and you actually engage and talk to the opposition directly to try to understand those," he said. "We didn't go as far as that, and that I think is the red line that he [David Cameron] imposed." Asked by Conservative Cheryl Gillan whether Mr Cameron had personally stopped officials from approaching Leave campaigners so they could do the same level of preparatory work on different outcomes as they would in a general election, he replied: "He did not want us talking to the Leave campaigners and working out elaborate plans for what would happen in the event of a Leave [vote]."
