‘Britain is likely to have spent about £2bn on preparations for Brexit by the time it leaves the EU in March 2019, with six core Whitehall departments creating around 10,000 extra roles to cope with the challenge. In a detailed assessment of Whitehall’s Brexit spending, the Institute for Government, a think-tank, estimated that by the time Article 50 expires the six core Brexit ministries alone will have spent at least £1.3bn on policy work’.
Hmm. Sounds like a lot of money but my guess is that the ‘Institute for Government’ will be packed with ‘experts’ and not, therefore to be relied upon. I demand a recount.
