Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many officials in his Department are engaged in research into the effects of the UK leaving the EU.

The　Government　is focused　on delivering a successful renegotiation: it believes it can and will succeed in reforming and renegotiating our relationship with the EU and campaigning to keep the UK in the EU on that basis.　Departments are appropriately resourced to support the Government’s priorities in Europe.
