‘Too slow’ ministers slammed

BREXIT chiefs are being “too slow” to prepare for our EU departure a year next month, a damning report warns.

Brexit Secretary David Davis’s department has 313 “workstreams” to complete by March 2019.

But plans to put them into action “may not be sufficiently developed to enable implementation to start quickly”, said the Commons Public Accounts Committee.

It said all departments must ditch or delay some of their wider commitments to make way for Brexit preparations.

It added: “Departments do not have the technical, project or senior leadership capacity for Brexit alongside all their other planned activity.” It called on Government to provide a formal update by June 1.

Committee deputy chairman, pro-Brexit Tory MP Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, said: “[The] real world will not wait for the Government to get its house in order.”
