Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many staff in his Department respond to Freedom of Information requests.
The Department for Exiting the European Union’s FOI team is appropriately staffed to make sure the department meets its statutory obligations. Within the past quarter, we responded to 97% of FOI requests within the 20 working day deadline set by the Information Commissioner's Office. As recruitment to the department is still ongoing we are not in a position to give a final total for particular groups of staff.
