Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how much his Department has spent on purchasing (a) national newspapers and (b) newspaper online subscriptions since 2016; and how many copies of each national newspaper were purchased in that time period.
Answered by James Duddridge
Up to the end of the most recent financial year (2018-19), the Department has spent a total of £73,207.36 on newspapers and online subscriptions.
Like all Government departments, it is necessary for us to be aware of public views and opinions, and subscriptions to national newspapers and specialist media outlets are one way we achieve this.
Our current subscriptions are as follows:
Publication | Physical subscriptions | Online subscriptions |
Daily Express | 1 | 0 |
Daily Mail | 1 | 0 |
Daily Mirror | 1 | 0 |
Daily Telegraph | 1 | 1 |

Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what the main policy priority is for his Department for 2018; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Steve Baker
The Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) published an updated Single Departmental Plan on 23 May 2018. This set out the department’s main policy objectives and how it will achieve them. Single Departmental Plans will be revised annually to reflect new priorities or changes in responsibilities.
DExEU is responsible for overseeing negotiations to leave the European Union. Its priority is negotiating a orderly withdrawal from the EU and a new comprehensive partnership for the future.
We have been working hard and at pace towards achieving that aim. We have made good progress in the negotiations so far having concluded the vast majority of the Withdrawal Agreement, recently reaching agreement on arrangements for goods on the market, Euratom related issues, and on cooperation in civil and commercial matters.
We have also begun talks on our future relationship which have covered aspects of our future economic and future security partnerships.
With talks ongoing, we remain on track to reach agreement on the Withdrawal Agreement and Future Framework by October 2018.
