<p>Exiting the European Union is an all-of-government operation. The Department for
Exiting the European Union is doing detailed work with departments to prepare for
the upcoming negotiations by understanding the risks and opportunities of leaving
the EU and coordinating planning.</p><p> </p><p>EU exit affects a number of work areas
across my Department and will therefore encompass a proportion of workload for many
staff, the amount of which will vary over time. My Department has recently restructured
its approach to the way it handles EU exit work, moving from a central EU exit co-ordinating
team of 7 to a position in which core EU exit work is distributed more widely across
the whole department. The number of staff working on leaving the EU will be kept under
review to ensure we have the appropriate resources available. Given the interactions
between EU exit work and my Department’s other priorities, it would not be possible
to give an accurate figure in relation to future recruitment.</p>
