	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2019 answer text <p>Leaving the EU with a deal remains our priority, but as a responsible Government we've been preparing for nearly three years to minimise disruption in the event of no deal.</p><p>We have over 300 work streams looking at specific no deal plans across a range of sectors and these are well advanced. There is still some work to be done but departments are making sensible decisions about prioritisation.</p><p>Departments report progress delivering each workstream on a regular basis. DExEU aggregates the cross-Government picture of readiness and provides regular updates to Ministers. This allows for the swift resolution of barriers to improve the Government’s overall preparedness for exit.</p><p>As you might expect, these aggregate assessments of Government preparedness are exceptionally sensitive. If our overall assessment - or the underlying data - were made public, both our negotiating position and our ability to manage delivery across the programme would be significantly damaged.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 23/07/2019 09:27:36 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2019 answer text <p>The Government does not hold this information; the EU will determine its policy direction once a new Commission takes office on 1 November. The British people voted to leave the European Union and the Government is committed to delivering this by 31 October.</p><p>However, in November 2018 the Government <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/760484/28_November_EU_Exit_-_Long-term_economic_analysis__1_.pdf" target="_blank">published analysis</a> of the long run economic impact of leaving the EU across a range of scenarios, and a <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/759760/28_November_EU_Exit_-_Assessment_of_the_security_partnership__2_.pdf" target="_blank">separate assessment</a> of the Future Security Partnership.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department for Exiting the European Union is committed to the creation of a diverse and inclusive working environment. Based on the self-declaration rates held on our system, the number of BAME staff employed in each grade group, and as a proportion of the staff in that grade who have made a declaration, is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Grade</p></td><td><p>Number (proportion)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band A (Grade 7 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>20 (13.6%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band A+ (Grade 6 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>12 (19.6%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SCS1 (Grade 5 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>fewer than 5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SCS2 (Grade 3 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>fewer than 5</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The Department has had success in attracting a diverse workforce at delegated grades (AO-G6 equivalent), and in particular our representation of BAME staff is one of the highest in government. Our priority is now to ensure we are representative at the most senior levels of the department focusing on processes such as talent, development, attraction and recruitment, as well as continuing to build an inclusive culture that celebrates uniqueness. These figures are based entirely on people identifying themselves as BAME on the Department’s HR system.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 24/07/2019 10:09:22 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
