Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how much the Government plans to spend on preparations for the UK leaving the EU without a deal in each month until March 2019.
Answered by Chris Heaton-Harris
The Department does not record expenditure or forecasts against potential outcomes. It records expenditure and forecasts on a functional basis.
The Department will be fulfilling its objectives within our Spending Review settlement, which provides funding through to March 2020.
Based on this, we are expecting to fulfill our Departmental objectives within our budget allocations up to March 2019 which totals £96m for 2018/19.
