The UK's departure from the European Union impacts upon most areas of departmental business. Staff within the Department’s Global Britain Directorate lead on providing advice to Ministers on EU Exit and exit-related issues. However, members of staff across the Department also provide advice and analysis on EU Exit issues as required. Given the interactions between EU exit work and the Department’s other priorities, it would not be possible to give a precise figure.
