Just tuning belatedly into Ivan Rogers up at @LordsEUCom & hear, re: trade negs, "secrecy doesn't work ... [&] ... has been a serious mistake in the current process". &, "What is UK trade policy?" - debate re: tariffs "needs to be had in both Houses" #Brexit @DavidHenigUK
Ivan Rogers tells @LordsEUCom that chief negotiator for next round of negs w/ EU should be in No10/Cabinet Office. Shouldn't be DExEU. Bases view on Q of trust: chief negotiator has to be trusted across Whitehall, by all depts, & not seen as having dept'mental skin in the game
& now Ivan Rogers saying that knowledge of the EU in Whitehall became a "rarified art". But Brexit now forcing domestic civil servants to engage with EU more than they ever did before referendum.
can't help noting a bit of a contrast today: while what's going on in the Commons is going on, @LordsEUCom taking detailed evidence about the skillset & departmental backgrounds that'll be needed in the UK's future mission to the EU once UK is a third country
