(Limited Text - Ministerial Extracts only)

Thursday 26th March 2026 Written Statements

[The Chief Secretary to the Treasury (James Murray)]

I am today laying before Parliament, “European Union Finances Statement 2025: Statement on the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement” (CP 1538). This is an annual publication; this year’s edition covers the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. This publication is available on the gov.uk website.

The publication sets out the Government’s updated estimate of the financial settlement on withdrawal from the EU. HM Treasury estimates that the total net value of the financial settlement is £30.9 billion since the UK ceased to be an EU member state in February 2020. Of this, £25.7 billion has been paid up to the end of December 2025, and the forecast of future outstanding net liabilities is £5.3 billion.
