Probably fairer to say that the department is still being set up so the exact detail of which staff transfer where is still being decided. It's not like the fancy government annoucement actually achieves anything - all the detail needs to be sorted out by the minions.
What is a waste of time is the asking of these questions over and over, the answering of which takes civil service staff time which might be more meaningfully deployed.
The way I'm used to these bams answer I only realised the red quotes were jokey on 'We run for free honestly' (and on that one I actually thought it was one of the bams making the joke).
