Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many staff appointed after 24 June 2016 in his Department hold a post that includes work on the UK leaving the EU.
The Department’s EU exit work is being centrally co-ordinated but the breadth of issues to be considered, and the interactions between EU exit work and the Department’s other priorities, mean that it is not possible to provide an estimate of how many staff have an element of their work in this area.
