<p>EU exit affects a number of work areas across the Department and will therefore
encompass a proportion of workload for many staff, the amount of which will vary over
time. The Department has restructured its approach to the way it handles EU exit work,
moving from an initial central EU exit co-ordinating team of 7 to the current position
where EU exit work is distributed widely across the whole department. Many of the
same staff spend a proportion of their time preparing for leaving the EU (a) with
and (b) without a deal. Those proportions vary continuously over time. As such it
is difficult to quantify the number of staff working on preparing for the UK to leave
the EU under any one possible scenario.</p>
