Written Question
Government Departments: Brexit
Monday 6th November 2017

Asked by: Michael Tomlinson (Conservative - Mid Dorset and North Poole)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much funding from the public purse has been allocated to other Government departments to prepare for the contingency of no deal being reached in the negotiations on the UK leaving the EU.

Answered by Elizabeth Truss

The Treasury has committed over £250 million of additional spending in 2017-18 to prepare for Brexit from the Reserve. Departmental allocations will be set out at Supplementary Estimates in the usual way. This is in addition to the £412m of additional funding over the parliament announced at Autumn Statement 2016 for the Department of International Trade, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for Exiting the European Union. That means the government has allocated over half a billion pounds so far in funding to ensure a successful exit from the EU.
