Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, pursuant to the Answer of 29 March 2018 to Question 134319 on Departments: Brexit, what arrangements have been established in his Department to coordinate departments’ exit planning and delivery; and what the size is of that coordinating team.
Answered by Robin Walker
Philip Rycroft, through the Department for Exiting the European Union, has responsibility for the overall coordination and strategy for exit. This includes coordination of other government departments’ planning and delivery work - where of course there are hundreds of officials working to deliver a successful Exit from the EU.
In particular, the Policy & Delivery Coordination directorate has been established to lead DExEU’s work to coordinate the domestic policy implications of exit across government departments. There are over 100 people working in PDC.
However all staff in the Department are dedicated to planning, delivering or supporting the work on EU exit. DExEU has over 650 staff based in the UK plus the expertise of over 120 officials in Brussels, and regular resource reviews have taken place in order to ensure that the Department’s structure remains suitable.
