My 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. The number of staff working on leaving the EU will be kept under review to ensure we have the appropriate resources available.
