Based on self-declaration rates held on our HR systems, the number of staff in the Department for Exiting the European Union who are:<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

  1. foreign nationals is 12, which is 2% as a proportion of those on the Department\u2019s HR systems.<\/p><\/li>

  2. non-UK EU citizens is 10, which is 1.7% as a proportion of those on the Department\u2019s HR systems.<\/p><\/li>

  3. Information on dual nationality is not available from our systems.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>

    <\/strong><\/p>

    The Government\u2019s approach throughout this process has been to seek to agree all of the issues related to our withdrawal from the European Union. The agreement that we have reached on citizens\u2019 rights is the only way of fully protecting the rights of all citizens.<\/p>

    The Prime Minister has been clear that EU citizens resident in the UK by the 29 March will be able to stay and have their rights protected. We published the Citizens\u2019 rights: EU citizens and UK nationals policy paper on 6 December, which sets out further details of our offer to citizens in a no deal.<\/p>

    We are engaging Member States and urging them to reciprocate this offer for UK citizens in full.<\/p>

A central list is not held in the form requested, but the Government remains confident of ensuring a functioning statute book for exit day.<\/p>

    The Department is tasked with successfully delivering the UK\u2019s exit from the European Union. A key element of this is ensuring preparation for all possible scenarios, including leaving the EU without a deal.<\/p>

    Budget 2018 confirmed an additional £500 million of funding from the reserve for 2019-20, meaning the government will have invested over £4 billion in preparing for EU exit since 2016.<\/p>

    It is not however possible to attribute the Department\u2019s costs to specific scenario planning such as \u201cno deal\u201d. This is because the Department does not record expenditure or forecasts against potential outcomes; it records expenditure and forecasts on a functional basis.<\/p>

    The Main Estimate for 2018-19, which details the budgetary limits for the Department, can be found on GOV.UK<\/a>. The Department has been allocated a delegated expenditure limit of £93.0m for 2018-19, which covers both \u2018deal\u2019 and \u2018no-deal\u2019 scenarios. This is just one element of cross-Whitehall spend.<\/p>

    The EU (Withdrawal) Act and other exit related primary and secondary legislation will ensure a functioning statute book for all scenarios on exit day. The Government remains confident of achieving this as we leave the EU.<\/p>

    Further, extensive work to prepare for a no deal scenario has been under way for over two years. As part of this work we have released 106 technical notices including on the issues of transport, climate change policy and customs and exports. These notices set out the unilateral steps that the Government will take to ensure that the UK is prepared in the event of a no deal scenario.<\/p>

    My Department continues to engage with businesses and representatives to understand their priorities and issues as we leave the European Union.<\/p>

    Delivering the deal negotiated with the EU remains our top priority and is the best way of avoiding a no deal scenario. However, until MPs have voted to approve the deal and with 12 weeks until we leave the EU, we will continue to prepare for every eventuality. That is the responsible thing to do.<\/p>

    We are clear that the UK will aim to minimise disruption for businesses in the short term, in a no deal scenario.<\/p>

    We\u2019ve published 106 technical notices, which provide important information for businesses and, following Cabinet\u2019s agreement on Tuesday, will provide further detailed guidance for businesses to follow over the coming weeks.<\/p>
