Name Start date End Date Mr Richard Withers 20 Jul 2017 06 Jul 2018 Complementary Information
The seven individuals recorded as spending 25% of their time undertaking activities reportable in this register spend significantly less than 25% of their working time on these matters in practice. However, 25% is the minimum percentage of working time that can be recorded in the register, so these activities have been rounded up. Without rounding up, we estimate the full time equivalent to be one (1).
Person in charge of EU relations
