Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many projects his Department has put on hold due to the requirements of planning for the UK leaving the EU without a deal.
DfT currently has 160 staff working directly on EU Exit and is drawing in more resource. It is likely to be necessary to pause or defer a number of existing workstreams in order to release enough staff to support the departmental response to a no deal exit from the EU. These work areas are being identified through a review of all key activities and priorities.
