Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what resources he has allocated within his Department to prepare contingency plans to cope with all possible outcomes of the UK's negotiations with the EU.

It is not possible to estimate the resources allocated specifically to the preparation of contingency plans due to interdependencies between this and other work undertaken as part of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Straegy’s preparations for EU exit.

The Department will continue to ensure there is an appropriate level of resource to deliver its EU exit work.
