answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department for Exiting the European Union was set up as a time limited department and as such the majority of staff are employed on 2-year fixed term contracts or are loaned from other Government Departments on a similar basis. The increase in numbers of leavers towards the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019 is mainly due to planned leavers moving to other government departments following the end of their pre-set loan agreement or job rotation, or have left the civil service following the end of their 2-year fixed-term appointment. The department undertakes succession planning to ensure it maintains its high standards of delivery.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td colspan="2"><p>2016</p></td><td colspan="4"><p>2017</p></td><td colspan="4"><p>2018</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>2019</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td><p>Q3</p></td><td><p>Q4</p></td><td><p>Q1</p></td><td><p>Q2</p></td><td><p>Q3</p></td><td><p>Q4</p></td><td><p>Q1</p></td><td><p>Q2</p></td><td><p>Q3</p></td><td><p>Q4</p></td><td><p>Q1</p></td><td><p>Q2</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p>Grade 6</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td> </td><td><p>13</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p>Grade 7</p></td><td> </td><td><p>9</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>17</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>12</p></td><td><p>16</p></td><td><p>24</p></td><td><p>22</p></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p>SCS1 and above</p></td><td> </td><td> </td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>9</p></td><td> </td><td> </td><td><p>9</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 04/07/2019 14:26:02 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

uin	257006
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to having a future relationship in place with the EU by the end of December 2020. However, even if the full future relationship is not in place by the end of the implementation period, the Government’s objective is to ensure that the backstop is replaced by alternative arrangements. Both the Withdrawal Agreement and the Political Declaration emphasised the shared determination of the UK and the EU to replace the backstop with an agreement on alternative arrangements.</p><p>In anticipation, the Government intends to establish three domestic advisory groups: an expert group on trade and customs, a business and trade union group, and a parliamentary group. These groups will engage widely, including with the institutions established under the Belfast Agreement, to ensure the UK’s input is informed by a broad and inclusive range of voices domestically. Amongst other facilitations, the groups will consider work drawing on cutting-edge technological solutions designed to streamline and modernise border controls and support engagement with customs and regulatory processes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 30/05/2019 12:20:31 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
