answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a small central team who have been appointed to deal exclusively with Defence issues relating to the UK's decision to leave the EU. This team draws on a range of colleagues from across the MOD who support EU exit related work, in addition to their normal duties. Given the interactions between EU exit work and the MOD's other priorities it is not possible to provide an accurate assessment of these costs. answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 11/09/2018 10:11:51 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
