"as official felt it would have broken European Union rules."
"Mel Stride, financial secretary to the Treasury, wrote to Nicky Morgan, chairwoman of the Treasury select committee to warn her there was a high “risk” that the tax would not be compatible with EU regulations, the Times reported on Friday."
Breaking EU rules? Incompatible with EU regulations?
Is it just me, and am I missing something, or does the Treasury seem certain of our future relationship with the EU?
Perhaps they didn't get the memo?
If they do, perhaps they should share that information with the rest of us, or start working towards a potentially different outcome instead of talking just the present and using language that gives the impression they are doing nothing about Brexit.
No surprise then, that the UK seems so ill prepared and that there is so much talk of a negative fall-out if key Government departments potentially aren't preparing for change and different scenario outcomes.
Would that practice and lack of vision survive within a business? Not for long, or at least the business wouldn't.
