Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 12 September 2017 to Question 8242, on Foreign and Commonwealth Office: arms length external organisations, what the timetable is for the estimate of the number of arms-lengths bodies that will be established after the UK leaves the EU to be made and published.

​The UK's future relationship with the EU's decentralised bodies after leaving the EU is a matter for the negotiations. As such, it is, at the present time, too early to say when any such projection would be made.
