The NAO has today published its report on the government’s expenditure on EU exit consultancy.
Tamzen Isacsson Chief Executive of the MCA said:
“The UK is a world-leading centre for consulting and we have been proud to provide expert support to the Government with its Brexit preparations during this critical time, providing extra capacity, specialist knowledge and expertise. Departments have faced an unprecedented volume of workload planning for all Brexit scenarios and using external resources has enabled the government to work quickly and with intensity on major programmes across the UK. At short notice we’ve been able to bring world class technical expertise and multi-disciplinary capabilities and it has been our priority to strengthen the UK’s Brexit planning processes, whatever the outcome, and provide value for money to government departments. Planning for Brexit has been an absolute necessity following the referendum and the investment into consultancy work has enabled the UK to challenge traditional thinking and find new ways of operating and doing business.”
