Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, when the attendance restrictions on weddings will be reviewed.
Answered by Penny Mordaunt - Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons
The Government continues to work closely with stakeholders in the wedding industry, to enable weddings and civil partnerships to continue to take place.
We recognise that the limit on attendees may be disappointing for those planning such events. By their nature, weddings and civil partnership ceremonies are events that bring families and friends together from across the country and sometimes across the world, making them particularly vulnerable to the spread of COVID-19. We do not wish to keep restrictions in place for any longer than we have to, and it will be kept under review in line with the changing situation.

Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much funding from the public purse has been allocated to his Department for financial year 2018-19 for planning for the UK leaving the EU without a deal; and how much of that funding has been spent.
Answered by Chloe Smith
HM Treasury has already allocated over £4.2 billion of additional funding to departments and the devolved administrations for EU exit preparations so far. This includes the £1.5 billion of additional funding HM Treasury announced at Autumn Budget 2017 for 2018/19.
A full breakdown of how this was allocated to departments can be found in the Chief Secretary’s Written Ministerial Statement, HCWS540, laid on the 13th March
(https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-
statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-03-13/HCWS540/).
This money will be paid out in Supplementary Estimates 18/19 later this financial year.
Between April 2018 and December 2018, the Cabinet Office spent £32.5m on activities associated with preparations to leave the European Union.
