New @NAOorguk report on @DefraGovUK preparations for #brexit is complimentary on progress made nao.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
@NAOorguk @DefraGovUK but even though they are doing well it illustrates the scale of the task the dept faces - even with its extra 1300 people
@NAOorguk @DefraGovUK real risks around readiness for "no deal" on fisheries, on chemicals, on food exports ..... but most interesting part is the criticism of ability to engage with businesses
@NAOorguk @DefraGovUK where @NAOorguk stress the problem is that @DefraGovUK can't get the messages it needs to give approved by @DExEUgov
@NAOorguk @DefraGovUK @DExEUgov this bodes badly .. govt needs to be communicating clearly and honestly with business.. but undone by the political sensitivity - as @instituteforgov said in June instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/p…
here's what @NAOorguk say on stakeholder engagement .. remember how positive Rycroft was about @dexeu stakeholder engagement @CommonsEUexit cttee last week 
@NAOorguk @DefraGovUK @DExEUgov @instituteforgov and we will be discussing business readiness for #brexit @instituteforgov next week instituteforgovernment.org.uk/events/busines…
