Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many staff who transferred into his Department were promoted to a higher grade upon their transfer; and how many have since transferred out of his Department at that higher grade.

The information you have requested is not held centrally therefore we are not in a position to provide this.

The Department for Exiting the European Union now has over 650 staff. The Department continues to recruit the brightest and the best from across the civil service, the wider public sector and the private sector, in a range of professions.
