To be fair, all parties in this House have adopted a very supportive position in regard to Brexit and we have afforded Government the time and space to work through these issues. However, we are coming to a point now, just five weeks out from a no-deal Brexit, where people deserve to know and will want to know because they want to make preparations and plans. Can the Minister tell the House and, more important, tell the people when the details of the outcome of those discussions with the European Commission around what will happen in terms of cross-border trade in a no-deal scenario will be made available and published?

In regard to the budget, he did not confirm the position I put to him, which is that the Brexit package that will only be deployed in a no-deal scenario will go beyond the €2.8 billion. Has he finalised at this stage the extent to which it will go beyond that €2.8 billion?
