The 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.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 14/11/2017 10:05:20 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
