From the conversation we are having, it seems it will be virtually impossible to have capital negotiations complete until Brexit negotiations are completed because of the financial implications. Maybe I am missing the point. We will never get agreement on a budget because we do not know what it will be until we know how much the divorce settlement will be. I refer to fitting the whole thing together. Would I be right or wrong in saying that?
