Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate his Department has made of the proportion of the Civil Service workforce in his Department dedicated to planning for (a) the UK leaving the EU and (b) projects relating to the UK leaving the EU.

A large proportion of the Treasury’s work is in some way related to exiting the European Union and this fluctuates over time as it interacts with Treasury’s other priorities. It is not possible, therefore, to accurately determine the proportion of the Treasury’s workforce engaged on EU Exit work at any one time.
