Proceeding contribution from Lord Bridges of Headley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 October 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Brexit: Preparations.

Brexit: Preparations

My Lords, while I welcome the nature of this report, and, like my noble friend Lord Forsyth, its comprehensive approach to these matters, I have a question about the reference on page 142 to the powers of the Northern Ireland Civil Service. My understanding is that the Northern Ireland Civil Service does not have all the powers required in the event of no deal. Will he confirm whether that is so, what the consequences are, and when the Government intend to address the situation?
