I would like more time to respond to that but I will briefly say that an enormous amount of contingency planning is under way across Government. It is my Department's job to co-ordinate that. Before the summer, we will publish a framework document on what that looks like but it will not give all of the detail because it does not make sense to publish some reports that may undermine our negotiating strategy. As I have done to date, I will happily brief either leaders or party spokespeople and give them a lot of detail about the contingency planning, some of which might not be prudent to publish. I will happily do that as long as that confidentiality is respected, which it has been on many sensitive issues relating to Brexit so far.
