To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 7 January 2025 to Question 21399 on Cabinet Office: Staff, how many staff were employed on EU relations before they were transferred to the EU Relations Secretariat.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

Around 50 members of staff moved from the FCDO to the Cabinet Office on 6 November 2024 to continue work on EU relations. These officials have come together with the existing EU National Security Secretariat and Windsor Framework teams to form the new European Union Relations Secretariat. The data on this headcount will be published in due course.
