The Department for Exiting the European Union will be wound up when the UK leaves the EU on January 31, the Government has announced.

Established in 2016 following the Brexit referendum, the department is responsible for overseeing negotiations to leave the EU and establish the future relationship between the bloc and Britain.

Boris Johnson has vowed to take Britain out of the bloc at the end of next month, and will begin driving the necessary legislation through Parliament from Friday.

The UK will then enter a transition period which the Government has insisted will come to an end in December 2020.

A Government spokesman said: “The Department for Exiting the European Union will be wound up once the UK leaves the EU on January 31. DExEU staff have been spoken to today.

“We are very grateful for all their work and we will help everyone to find new roles.”

It follows reports that the Prime Minister is planning a major shake-up of Whitehall – with suggestions that the best DExEU staff may join the Cabinet Office to boost numbers in Britain’s EU negotiating team.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
