answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government continues undertaking planning for all EU exit scenarios, as is prudent. The Department continues to work closely with the Department for Exiting the European Union to ensure consistency of plans across government. Members of staff across the Department provide advice and analysis on EU Exit issues as required. Given the interactions between EU exit work and the Department’s other priorities, it would not be possible to give a figure for the information requested.</p><p> </p><p>The Department continually reviews workforce plans, priorities and changing needs, which includes identification and cessation of non-priority work where appropriate. We have accelerated our plans, and at the same time, the Civil Service as a whole is working to ensure that EU exit implementation is carried out to high quality without impacting public service delivery across the whole of government.</p><p> </p><p>The Department publishes its workforce management information each month.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>A large proportion of the Treasury’s work is in some way related to exiting the European Union and this fluctuates over time as it interacts with the Treasury’s other priorities. It is not possible, therefore, to accurately estimate the proportion of the Treasury’s workforce, existing or additional, that will be engaged on EU-Exit (including in the event of either a) or b)), at any one time.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 14/01/2019 10:43:40 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

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 Lord Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <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> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 14/01/2019 10:28:05 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose

Forty staff are currently working on the central management and co-ordination of the Department's EU Exit activity and we anticipate that additional people will join these central teams in the near term.
