Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of (a) the number of officials in his Department involved in recording retained EU legislation for the purposes of the Retained EU Law Dashboard in the latest period for which figures are available and (b) the cost to the public purse of recording that information.

DfT worked with the Cabinet Office from February to June 2022 to create the Retained EU Law (REUL) dashboard. International Directorate in DfT coordinated this work with the support of policy leads from across the Department and its Agencies. All expenditure was costed within the business-as-usual budgets and there has been no additional non-pay cost to the public purse by creating the dashboard.
