The Government is being warned it must urgently ramp up engagement with business amid a series of “unanswered questions” over Brexit. The British Chambers of Commerce says there are 26 key questions unanswered.
Commenting, Best for Britain CEO Naomi Smith said:
“The Government’s own prevarication over Brexit preparations is now an acute problem. Just this week the chief executive at the port of Dover said they were deeply concerned that the Government’s funding system is still not up and running, and now the British Chambers of Commerce once again has to raise the alarm.
“The Government says it wants businesses to prepare themselves, while failingĀ to articulate the trading terms they are expected to prepare for. Even worse, it is desperately looking for ways to paper over the cracks of its failings and has earmarked a Covid testing centre to make room for a giant lorry park.
“This posturing and apportioning of blame and responsibility to others must end. The UK Government needs to stop wasting time and deliver the comprehensive deal it promised.”
