Under the prudent maxim of "As we work for the best, we prepare for the worst" and given the public indication that contingency planning is under way across Departments in the event of a hard Brexit, we understand that upwards of 270 or 280 documents have been submitted. What interaction does the Tánaiste propose to have with Members of this House with regard to the preparations that will be required financially and legislatively - apparently emergency legislation will be required with regard to financial services and others - so that in the event of things going pear-shaped, which we work very hard to avoid, between now and next March, we are prepared for every eventuality? Will the Tánaiste brief us on that? Will he produce heads of Bills on that? How will he prepare for that issue?

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.
