Did the Royal Navy have any plans to evacuate its ships from the mediateranean if the Italian/Germans manage to get near the Suez Canal to avoid the ships being trapped if they capture the canal?

Well by the time of the El Alamein battles the RN in the eastern med had been reduced to light crushers and destroyers

However by that time Park had air superiority over Malta so they could have just sailed west to escape. Merchantmen and auxiliaries would have departed via the canal.

It doesn't take much planning to transit the canal, it would be more a redeployment in order to fight the war in the Red Sea.
