Mr. Garrett Murray:

In terms of funding, we would have had extensive discussions with the Department on what we needed in funding to deal with the immediate issues. The immediate issues for us are boots on the ground overseas so that we can help diversification and drive innovation.

Mr. Sherry would have referred to my colleagues from our newly established Brexit unit. We are well poised to deal with the situation as it stands. That is not to say that we will not have to go back to Government and have further conversations as we see what Brexit will be like, be it hard or soft, or whatever terminology we are using.

In terms of ramping up and engaging with companies and the unknown, many companies are only reflecting on what their challenges are. What we have been trying to do is meet them, contact them and point out the services we already have available, what we will have available to them following the budget and what we have been doing over recent months. We are comfortable at present.
