'Operating in a parallel universe' — The UK government is failing to prepare business for Brexit

• An influential group of MPs has "grave concerns" about the business department's readiness for Brexit.
• The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has made "virtually no attempt to re-order its priorities" with less than a year to go until Britain leaves the European Union.
• The Greg Clark-led department lacks the staff and IT systems to deliver heaps of Brexit-related work, according to a report published by the Public Accounts Committee.
