Leaving the EU: Implementation
"Whether among larger employers or small and medium-sized enterprises, it seems to me that there is currently a consensus that the length of time and potentiality of high costs for the UK in breaking into new markets is going to be devastating, with jobs lost.

Written Question
Friday 15th December 2017
Asked by:
Madeleine Moon (Labour - Bridgend)
Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many members of staff have left his Department since its creation; and how many of those members of staff were nationals of non-UK EU countries.
Answered by Steve Baker
The Department for Exiting the European Union’s monthly average attrition is 3.1% which equates to a quarterly figure of 8-9%. This level of attrition is not out of line with other Government departments, like the Cabinet Office, that operate a similar employment model. This figure includes the contractual exit of agency workers, secondees, contractors and fast streamers. The figure also includes a number of individuals who were on short-term loan from other Government Departments, brought in to aid in the establishment of DExEU.
Information on nationality cannot be released as individuals may be identifiable.

Asked by:
Madeleine Moon (Labour - Bridgend)
Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what assessment he has made of the effect of EU rules of origin on UK motor manufacturing after the UK leaves the EU; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Robin Walker
The Government wants to see zero tariffs on trade in goods, frictionless trade and to minimise the regulatory and market access barriers for both goods and services. The role of preferential or non-preferential Rules of Origin in any deal, and our approach to minimising administration and friction, will depend on the precise nature of the agreement between the UK and the EU. We have been working closely with stakeholders in various sectors, including the automotive sector, to understand the needs of UK industry. Ministers have met with a variety of automotive companies and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
