Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what the cost to the public purse has been of his Department hiring additional staff to cover issues related to the UK leaving the EU.

This information is not available as the Department does not account for costs in that way. MHCLG’s annual report and accounts 2017-2018 were published on 19 July: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mhclg-annual-report-and-accounts-2017-to-2018.
