answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>The cost to reimburse hauliers for the operational and time costs and the owners of Manston airfield for site management costs was £60,000-65,000. There will also have been some costs incurred by Kent Police and Kent County Council associated with their staff attending the trial. These and other costs for, if necessary, using Manston to hold HGVs are considered appropriate against the very high economic and traffic congestion associated with closing the M20 if we could not use Manston.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 15/01/2019 16:42:26 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2019 answer text <p>Government Departments continue to engage with a wide range of businesses to understand their priorities and issues as we leave the European Union, both to inform our negotiating position, and our preparations in the unlikely event of there being no deal.</p><p> </p><p>Departments can make use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when structuring their engagements on preparations for leaving the EU, which is a crucial component of planning. It is for departments to determine the manner in which engagement with stakeholders takes place. Given the sensitive nature of some discussions, there may be limited circumstances in which departments have used NDAs to enable those conversations, thereby reaching more stakeholders than would otherwise be the case.</p><p> </p><p>NDAs are also a common component of contractual arrangements that are used to protect commercial considerations of the parties involved or to protect sensitives around the development of Government policy.</p><p> </p><p>It is entirely normal practice to use such agreements and they are therefore sometimes necessary for Government departments who are responsible for managing their preparations for leaving the EU.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 15/01/2019 14:41:37 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>DfT currently has just over 160 staff working directly on EU Exit and is drawing in more resource. The department’s current assessment is that it will not require a significant increase in staff numbers if the UK leaves the EU with a deal. In a no deal scenario, a substantial number of additional staff are likely to be redeployed from other roles in Government. The majority will be internal DFT staff or staff from other government departments. These requirements are being kept under regular review.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 14/01/2019 15:57:16 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
