Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what estimate he has made of the number of Government officials engaged in matters relating to policies from the EU; and what the staff cost of such engagement is.

This question was answered on 18th April 2016
Departments are appropriately resourced to support the Government's priorities in Europe. The staff costs of engagement on EU business cannot be obtained without incurring disproportionate cost.
