Louise Haigh – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Attorney General
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Louise Haigh on 2016-10-07.
To ask the Attorney General, what plans he has to add additional capacity to the Government Legal Service for transposing legislation derived from the EU into UK law after the conclusion of negotiations for the UK to leave the EU.
Robert Buckland
The Treasury Solicitor as head of the Government Legal Service is monitoring demand for legal work across government in light of the referendum and business needs will be reflected in recruitment.
Where additional capacity is required we are addressing this by lateral moves between teams supplemented by our normal recruitment processes. We will continue carefully to monitor the demand for legal services across government.
