Question to the Home Office:

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

The Home Office constantly monitors the capabilities it needs to deliver the Government’s agenda. Any changes to resource requirements flowing from Home Office EU Exit planning or related projects are factored into this strategic planning.

By its nature, EU exit work is complex and cross-cutting, involving multiple directorates and teams within in the Department. Given the interactions between EU exit work and the Department’s other priorities, it would not be possible to give an accurate figure on how many staff in the Home Office have responsibilities relating to exiting the EU.
