Cabinet Office written question – answered at on 9 September 2016.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many civil servants, and of what rank, work in EU units or sub-departments within all UK Government ministerial departments.
The Department for Exiting the European Union has responsibility for overseeing preparations for the withdrawal of the UK from the EU and conducting these withdrawal negotiations in support of the Prime Minister. In doing this it is working very closely with other government departments.
Workforce planning is primarily the responsibility of each individual department to determine and therefore the information requested is not held centrally.
The Civil Service constantly reviews its capabilities in order to deliver the Government’s agenda and following the EU referendum decision it is critical for the Civil Service to ensure it has the right skills and capabilities to deliver its manifesto commitments and consider all the implications of the EU exit.
Cabinet Office is working with all departments across the Civil Service to better understand their resourcing requirements following the decision to exit the EU.
