Risk Management
Thursday 19th April 2018

Asked by: Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party - Arbroath and Broughty Ferry)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether a formal risk register has been completed for the UK leaving the EU.

Answered by Steve Baker

Each department is responsible for assessing and managing risk to their specific policy areas and delivery; a risk register is one of the tools available in the wider risk management process.

This Department has taken a number of steps to ensure it has strong risk and programme management foundations in place and will continue to assess and manage these as appropriate. As such, risk registers are part of the management process used in order to take opportunities and ensure we can achieve our operational and policy objectives.

More information about our risk management approach can be found at page 21 of the Department Annual Report and Accounts 2016-17, which is available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/655232/DExEU_ARA_v5.0_amended_version_14.08.17__1_.pdf.
