We are considering very carefully a range of options. In most cases we anticipate that repatriated EU functions can be absorbed by existing UK departments and existing public bodies. Prior to any decisions on establishing new UK-level bodies, the Government always looks to minimise disruption and costs, which includes considering alternative options, such as the use of existing public bodies.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 15/04/2019 12:57:44 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
