answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 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. 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, so calculating a specific allocation would be disproportionately difficult.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 16/01/2019 12:40:50 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose
