Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to the findings of the report Preparing Brexit: How ready is Whitehall? by the Institute for Government.

We have noted the findings of the report from the Institute for Government, which acknowledges the huge amount of work that has taken place across Whitehall since the referendum vote.

The whole of Government is working hard to ensure the UK can fully seize the opportunities offered by withdrawing from the EU, and that our preparations for exit from and new partnership with the EU are on track. Planning is going well, and we are confident that work to leave the EU will be a success.
