answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>DfT currently has just over 160 staff working directly on EU Exit and is drawing in more resource. The department’s current assessment is that it will not require a significant increase in staff numbers if the UK leaves the EU with a deal. In a no deal scenario, a substantial number of additional staff are likely to be redeployed from other roles in Government. The majority will be internal DFT staff or staff from other government departments. These requirements are being kept under regular review.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 14/01/2019 15:57:16 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
