Yes, there's a lot to be done and people need to get their fingers out, burn the midnight oil if needed, employ more staff and actually DO something.

It does kick the can down the road but that's because 2 years isn't long enough. As far as know the civil service is already working longer hours etc but the sheer scale of the task isn't helping. It doesn't help the politicians are dithering into what they want.
Personally I think we should sign up to the EU bodies where there is no real benefit, trade wise, to having our own. I.E Do we really need to leave Euratom which regulates the transport, management and safety of nuclear material? Not really. What's the point of setting up and staffing an agency which on the face of it will do nothing but mirror EU regulation.
Stuff like that will speed it up.
