The Government’s website on guidance for “Flying flags: A Plain English guide” was quietly updated on July 20 to include the guidance.

It now states: “Following the UK’s departure from the European Union, the flag of the European Union is no longer included in the list of flags that do not require consent.”

The move is separate from instructions to councils which requires them to display EU flags as a condition for receiving high street Covid recovery cash from Brussels.
