The Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU; also known as the Department for Brexit or Brexit Department)[2] was a department of the Government of the United Kingdom responsible for overseeing negotiations relating to Brexit, and establishing the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU.[2] It was formed by the Prime Minister, Theresa May, in July 2016, in the wake of the referendum vote to leave the European Union.[4] The department was dissolved on 31 January 2020 when Brexit took effect.[1]
The department was formed by combining staff from the Cabinet Office’s Europe Unit, the Europe Directorate of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the United Kingdom's Permanent Representation to the EU, and was able to take on staff from other government departments as necessary.[5] The department was overseen by David Davis MP until he resigned on 8 July 2018.[6][7] Dominic Raab was appointed as Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union on 9 July 2018,[8] but resigned on 15 November 2018 over the draft withdrawal agreement.[9] His replacement was announced on 16 November 2018 to be Steve Barclay.[10]
