answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>Over 80% of Defra’s agenda is affected by the UK’s departure from the EU and as a result many roles across the Defra group are now supporting work related to it, either directly or indirectly. As at 31 January 2019, Defra group had placed over 2,850 staff including fixed term appointments, interims and staff redeployed from within the group.</p><p> </p><p>In line with the previous questions from last week, we treat internal civil service moves as loans and moves from outside the civil service as secondments (including public servants from arm's-length bodies etc.). This includes organisations that are non-ministerial departments, executive agencies or non-departmental public bodies. Based on these criteria, Defra currently has 80 staff on secondment from arm's-length bodies working on preparations for the UK's withdrawal from the EU.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 08/04/2019 16:36:53 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
