Presumably the Department has identified the extent to which the State can replicate the supply chains outside of the UK in all situations because one may have a knock-on effect on the other. Those who are in the business of distribution must look at where products are coming from. If they are sourced in the UK, that is likely to cause a problem. To what extent has provision made for alternative sourcing from the Continent? With regard to fluctuations in the money markets in the context of sourcing products in the UK, presumably the Department has factored in the value of sterling and the buying power of the euro, which is likely to go lower as we go deeper into the uncertainty.
