Preparing for Brexit gave UK 'match fitness' to deal with pandemic, Michael Gove tells Covid inquiry
The Levelling Up Secretary admitted that preparing for Brexit placed pressure on those working inside government, but said it gave the UK the "match fitness for what none of us anticipated but what was to come the year after".
"I would argue the skills acquired, honed and refined during EU exit prep helped us not only to have an organisational system better in deal with process - but to have a cadre of people who'd been through an intense process that enhanced the ability to respond," he told the inquiry.
He rejected this notion, telling the inquiry: "Preparation for EU exit in and of itself was some of the best preparation that could have been undergone for any future crisis."
