answer text <p>In developing all policy related to EU exit, government departments have an ongoing responsibility to meet the Public Sector Equalities Duty under the Equality Act 2010. As such, any policy changes resulting from EU exit will be reviewed to ascertain whether they ​give rise to discrimination on grounds of sex, create equality of opportunity for women or the likelihood of discrimination based on sex, and foster good relations between women and men. The Public Sector Equality Duty will also apply in relation to the other protected characteristics.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department is recruiting the brightest and the best from across the civil service, the wider public sector and the private sector. The Department for Exiting the European Union now has over 450 staff, and is growing fast. The Department for Exiting the European Union obtains its legal advice from the Government Legal Department. We will not be providing a running commentary on particular groups of staff as recruitment is ongoing and numbers are regularly changing. We will ensure we have the right skills to get the best deal for the UK.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We have been clear that we want to give citizens and business in the UK and the EU, and from around the world, as much certainty as possible, as early as possible. This is why we want to have reached agreement about our future partnership by the end of March 2019. From that point on, we believe a phased period of implementation, during which time both Britain and the EU Institutions and Member States prepare for the new relationship, will help both sides to minimise unnecessary disruption.</p><p> </p> more like this
