These orders, and several other elements of the Criminal Finances Act 2017, relate to devolved matters. The Security Minister gave a commitment to Parliament not to commence any CFA provisions affecting devolved matters until legislative consent is secured. This is one of the many issues that demonstrate that devolved government is in the best interests of everyone in Northern Ireland.</p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 29/11/2018 16:23:12 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose

	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
