Written Question
Department for Exiting the European Union: Wales
Wednesday 30th November 2016

Asked by: Gerald Jones (Labour - Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many full-time equivalent civil servants employed by his Department are working exclusively on issues arising for Wales as a result of the UK voting to leave the EU; and what the civil service grade is of each of those officials.

Answered by David Jones

All departments are equipping themselves with the resources they need to get the best deal for the UK. We are not in a position to give a final total for particular groups of staff as recruitment is ongoing and we will not be giving a running commentary. The Department for Exiting the European Union now has just over 300 staff, and is growing fast.
