Brexit: civil service facing its largest task since WWII, says union

Brexit poses the single biggest task for the UK’s civil service since the second world war, according to the most senior union official representing civil servants.

 

Dave Penman – general secretary of the FDA, which represents leading public servants including permanent secretaries – fears departments will be forced to drop other priorities unless there is more money to pay for the extra work. But he said there was “no indication” that the government was planning to boost resources in next week’s autumn statement.

 

Penman’s warning about the consequences of “Brexit on the cheap” comes after a leaked memo claimed that Whitehall was working on more than 500 projects relating to leaving the EU and could need to hire 30,000 extra civil servants.

 

  • The government said it did not recognise the document, which was drawn up by consultants at Deloitte, and denied its conclusion that there was no government-wide plan for Brexit.
