Andrew Bridgen – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Bridgen on 2016-04-08.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what estimate he has made of the number of Government officials engaged in matters relating to policies from the EU; and what the staff cost of such engagement is.

Mr David Lidington

Departments are appropriately resourced to support the Government’s priorities in Europe. The staff costs of engagement on EU business cannot be obtained without incurring disproportionate cost.
