The UK's worldwide exchange secretary likewise rebuked the EU for Brexit delays.
The remarks came after the Irish Republic's EU magistrate said Dublin could veto Brexit exchange talks.

Bringing down Street has said the entire of the UK will leave both the traditions union and the single market when it leaves the EU in 2019.
"We don't need there to be a hard outskirt however the UK will be leaving the traditions union and the single market," Mr Fox disclosed to Sky News.
He included: "We can't go to a last response to the Irish inquiry until the point that we get a thought of the end state. Also, until the point that we get into discourses with the EU on the end express that will be exceptionally troublesome - so the snappier we can do that the better, and we are still in a position where the EU wouldn't like."
'Play intense'
Mr Fox blamed the European Commission for having a "fixation" with nearer and nearer union between EU part states, which was deferring progress in Brexit talks.

It's 310 miles (499km) long - a squiggle on the guide that wanders from Carlingford Lough in the east to Lough Foyle in the west.
The outskirt between Northern Ireland and the Republic is the prospective boondocks between the UK and the European Union.
Furthermore, at this moment it is the most troublesome wilderness between Brexit transactions slowing down or advancing.
London and Dublin each say they are focused on keeping up an open outskirt. However, Ireland considers how that will be conceivable.
Gracious and one other thing to toss in with the general mish-mash - after all the discussion of how unstable Theresa May's legislature is, so is Ireland's.
There could be a general race there before Christmas.
Presentational dim line
The EU has given Prime Minister Theresa May until the point that 4 December to concoct promote recommendations on issues including the fringe, the Brexit separate bill and residents' rights, if European pioneers are to consent to proceeding onward to exchange talks.
Be that as it may, Mr Hogan blamed some in the British government for having what he called "daze confidence" about securing a thorough facilitated commerce bargain after Brexit.
He said it was an "extremely basic reality" that "if the UK or Northern Ireland stayed in the EU traditions union, or better still the single market, there would be no fringe issue".
In these conditions controls on either side of the outskirt would continue as before, thus a close undetectable fringe would be conceivable.
