Baroness Goudie – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Goudie on 2016-10-17.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many roles within the Department for Exiting the EU are currently unfilled; and how many job applications have been received for those roles.

Lord Bridges of Headley

The Department for Exiting the European Union now has over 250 staff and the expertise of 120 officials in Brussels, and is continuing to grow.

We are not in a position to give a total number of job applications as recruitment is ongoing and we will not be giving a running commentary. Our aim is to have a streamlined Department, while ensuring the right skills and experience to get the best outcome for the UK.
