Government Departments: Brexit

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Department for Exiting the European Union, pursuant to the Answer of 29 November 2017 to Question 115476 on Department for Exiting the European Union: Brexit, how many Departmental EU exit-related workstreams have been established.

Answer

The Department for Exiting the European Union is working closely with all departments to ensure our preparations for exit from, and new partnership with, the EU are on track. We have established a series of arrangements to coordinate departments’ planning and delivery.

As indicated in the National Audit Office report, departments have identified exit work streams that are used to structure engagement with DExEU. The structure and development of workstreams is part of ongoing cross-government work to develop and assess potential policy options. There are currently c.300 workstreams, but this number is updated regularly.
