Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the implications of the UK leaving the EU on the need for additional departmental staff or other resources.

The Prime Minister has instructed all departments to identify potential opportunities that will arise in their areas from EU Exit.

The Department for Exiting the EU (DExEU) is working closely with every Government department to ensure that the full range of opportunities are taken, and risks mitigated, across every area of Government policy.

A central unit has been established to coordinate EU exit work across the Home Office and act as a central contact for DExEU. Units across the HO are also feeding into this work.
