Brexit is the number one issue at present. It is not good that the Secretary General of the Department of Finance does not know who sits on interdepartmental groups that deal with Brexit. I presume it is one of the four departmental officials. I worry about how prepared we are and how much detail we have on the challenges facing us. I accept that we must have a whole of department approach because that is exactly what we need. Our best and brightest people must work together on this issue. I do not know what official from the Department of Finance is on the group. Should it be the Secretary General?
