Brexit

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment has been made of the current levels of Civil Service personnel and of their ability to manage the Brexit process.

Answer

The UK is well placed to deal with the challenges, and take advantage of the opportunities, that lie ahead as this nation makes a success of Brexit.

The Civil Service is focused on delivering this Government’s commitment to leave the EU and get the very best deal for the UK. We are equipping ourselves with the right people and the right skills across government to make this happen.
