Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many members of staff have left his Department since its creation; and how many of those members of staff were nationals of non-UK EU countries.

The Department for Exiting the European Union’s monthly average attrition is 3.1% which equates to a quarterly figure of 8-9%. This level of attrition is not out of line with other Government departments, like the Cabinet Office, that operate a similar employment model. This figure includes the contractual exit of agency workers, secondees, contractors and fast streamers. The figure also includes a number of individuals who were on short-term loan from other Government Departments, brought in to aid in the establishment of DExEU.

Information on nationality cannot be released as individuals may be identifiable.
