Work relating to the UK leaving the EU, is an all-of-government operation. The Department for Exiting the European Union is undertaking detailed work and is primarily responsible for overseeing negotiations to leave the EU and establishing the future relationship between the UK and EU.

Cabinet Office staff continue to work closely with officials in the Department for Exiting the as European Union.

Members of staff across Cabinet Office also provide advice and analysis on EU Exit issues as required. But, given the interactions between EU Exit work and the departments other priorities, it would not be possible to give an accurate figure of cost.
