Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many civil servants are currently employed primarily to deliver Brexit.

The Government is equipping itself with the right people with the right skills for the UK to successfully exit the European Union. There are almost 11,000 people now working on EU exit related policy and programmes across government. Workforce plans will continually be reviewed to ensure the Civil Service can respond to emerging capacity and capability requirements as we accelerate preparations.
