Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many officials in their Department are working on Retained EU Law legislation.
No additional full time staffing resource has been required to work on retained EU law legislation. At present, approximately ten DWP officials are working on the retained EU law belonging to DWP in much the same way as they would be reviewing and amending other DWP owned legislation. This work is in addition to their other duties.
