Whilst workforce planning is primarily the responsibility of each department to determine based on their individual operational and policy requirements, the Civil Service constantly reviews its capabilities in order to deliver the Government’s commitment to leave the EU and get the very best deal for the UK. Civil Service HR is working closely with the Department for Exiting the European Union to support departments, functions and professions in continuing to develop plans to address their emerging capacity and capability requirements. </strong></p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 14/11/2017 11:40:30 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
