Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether they will instruct officials to issue advice for civil servants concerned that they are being asked to work on Brexit policy that may break the law.

Answer:

Guidance already exists for civil servants in respect of circumstances where they consider that they are being asked to act in a way which conflicts with the Northern Ireland Civil Service Code of Ethics, including the requirement to comply with the law and uphold the administration of justice.
