question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government why it was necessary to employ 11,000 additional civil servants to deliver Brexit; and whether they will publish a detailed breakdown of their deployment.
tabling member printed	Lord Stoddart of Swindon
uin	HL3155
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>We do not recognise the figure of 11,000. The whole of Government is preparing for the UK to make an orderly and successful exit from the European Union, and we are equipping ourselves with the right people and the right skills across Government to make this happen. Whilst workforce planning is primarily the responsibility of each department to determine based on their individual operational and policy requirements, the Civil Service constantly reviews its capabilities in order to deliver the Government’s commitment to leave the EU and get the very best deal for the UK. Civil Service HR is working closely with the Department for Exiting the European Union to support departments, functions and professions in continuing to develop plans to address their emerging capacity and capability requirements.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 27/11/2017 17:05:31 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to publish a document setting out the political and economic benefits to the UK of leaving the EU.
tabling member printed	Lord Stoddart of Swindon
uin	HL3156
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2017 answer text <p>The people voted to leave the EU in a referendum which Parliament voted to hold. A clear majority of the electorate voted to leave the EU and we will respect the will of the British people.</p><p>Since then the Government has been undertaking rigorous and extensive analysis work to support our exit negotiations, to define our future partnership with the EU, and to inform our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks.</p><p>This includes a full suite of economic analysis, as you would expect from a responsible Government. This means looking at 58 sectors as well as cross-cutting regulatory, economic and social issues to help inform our negotiation positions.</p><p>We have been clear that we recognise Parliament’s rights relating to the publication of documents. However, ministers face conflicting responsibilities - such as a clear obligation not to disclose information when doing so would not be in the public interest. And Parliament has previously voted not to release information that would be prejudicial to our negotiating position.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 23/11/2017 14:26:01 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
