Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how much his Department plans to spend on preparations for the UK leaving the EU without a deal between now and March 2020.
Answered by Chris Heaton-Harris
The Department will be fulfilling its objectives within our Spending Review settlement, which provides funding through to March 2020.
The Department does not record expenditure or forecasts against potential outcomes. It records expenditure and forecasts on a functional basis.
Based on this, we are expecting to fulfill our Departmental objectives within our budget allocations up to March 2020.
2018/19 Budget: £94.287m
2019/20 Budget: £94.780m

Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how much the Government has spent on preparing for the UK leaving the EU without a deal in the last 12 months for which figures are available.
Answered by Chris Heaton-Harris
The Treasury has provided £4.2bn for EU Exit preparations, including the unlikely event of a ‘no deal’ scenario, consisting of: £700m for 2017-18; £1.5bn for 2018-19 announced at Autumn Budget 2017 and allocated at Spring Statement 2018; £1.5bn for 2019-20 announced at Autumn Budget 2017; and an additional £500m for 2019-20 announced at Autumn Budget 2018.
This funding represents a clear commitment from the Government to ensure departments and the Devolved Administrations continue to have the necessary money to prepare effectively for a range of exit scenarios, including the unlikely event of a no deal scenario.
The Devolved Administrations are receiving their share of additional funding in devolved areas through the Barnett Formula. For 2018-19 this means the Devolved Administrations are receiving almost £75m.
