answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2016 answer text <p>We are considering carefully all options for future arrangements with the EU following a UK exit. We know that there is no mandate for a deal that involves accepting the existing arrangements governing free movement of people from Europe. However, we do not accept that there is a binary trade-off in terms of border control and access to the single market for goods and services. We are aiming for the best deal on both for Britain. The Prime Minister has been clear that we are going to be ambitious in our negotiation, to negotiate the best deal for the British people and that will include the maximum possible access to the European market for firms to trade with and operate within.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 18/10/2016 14:44:28 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2016 answer text <p>The Department for Exiting the EU now has over 200 staff, and is growing fast. The overall size and scope of the new Department, including staffing and budget, are regularly reviewed. We will ensure we are appropriately staffed to deal with all aspects of the forthcoming negotiation. There are currently 43 (French) speaker slots in UKRep, for which the staff require operational language skills to undertake the post. For the wider Department there are a number of staff with language skills, however these are not currently a requirement of the posts and were not the determining factor in recruitment. We are undertaking work to identify the skills required for the future so this position may change in due course.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 13/10/2016 10:12:01 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
