Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what estimate she has made of (a) the number of officials in her 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.

Approximately 10 - 15 FCDO officials from across the department were involved in the process of recording information on retained EU legislation held by the department for the purposes of the Retained EU Law (REUL) Dashboard.

There has been no additional non-pay cost to the public purse by creating the dashboard.

The dashboard itself is made by the Government Strategic Management Office and is hosted on Tableau Public, which is a free platform for hosting public dashboards. The dashboard will continue to be updated at no additional cost.
