Written Question
Northern Ireland Office: Staff
Tuesday 14th November 2017

Asked by: Ian C. Lucas (Labour - Wrexham)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how many staff appointed after 24 June 2016 in his Department hold a post that includes work on the UK leaving the EU.

Answered by Chloe Smith

EU exit affects a number of work areas across the Department and will therefore encompass a proportion of workload for many staff, the amount of which will vary over time. The Department has recently restructured its approach to the way it handles EU exit work, moving from a central EU exit co-ordinating team of 7 to a position in which core EU exit work is distributed more widely across the whole department.
