I am aware the Minister needs to leave soon, but that here officials will remain with us. Before she leaves, I have a question for her. Will there be a public information campaign on the consequences of Brexit and the impact in regard to rights, entitlements and so forth, not just by the Minister's Department but across the whole of government. Currently, everybody's focus is on Covid-19. Is it proposed to have a public information campaign to prepare people for what will effectively be a no-deal Brexit regardless of what happens in the next 2,000 hours?
