<p>The Government is carrying out an ongoing programme of assessment work since the
Referendum. This will inform our negotiating position with the EU, to define our deep
and special partnership and inform our understanding of how EU exit will affect the
UK’s domestic policies and frameworks. The Department for Work and Pensions is working
in close coordination with the Department for Exiting the European Union, to ensure
the delivery of a holistic programme.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s EU exit work
is being centrally co-ordinated, but the breadth of issues to be considered, and the
interactions between EU exit work and the Department’s other priorities, mean that
it is not possible to provide an estimate of staff numbers, or time spent, on work
in this area.</p>
