Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department has conducted any impact assessments on the effect on the British education system of the UK leaving the EU.

We are working with departments across government, in close coordination with the Department for Exiting the European Union, to carry out a programme of work to inform our negotiating position with the EU and our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks.

Where appropriate, an impact assessment often accompanies major bills and regulations to illustrate the effects of the changes. For example, the government published an Impact Assessment alongside the EU (Withdrawal) Bill. We will continue publishing Impact Assessments to accompany legislation, where appropriate.
