To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what estimate the Department has made of the number of UK jobs transferred to EU member states through the relocation of public limited companies’ operational headquarters since 2015.

While the Department does not hold the specific information requested, it maintains regular engagement with businesses and representative organisations and monitors a range of economic indicators to inform policy and support economic growth.
