Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the level of funding for contingency planning allocated to HM Revenue and Customs (a) in the last financial year and (b) for the current financial year for preparation for the UK leaving the EU.

HMT is working with all departments, including HMRC, to ensure they have the funding they need to prepare for Brexit. The additional funding allocated to HMRC in 2017-18 for preparation for EU exit will be set out at Supplementary Estimates 2017-18 in the usual way. Departmental funding for the 2016-17 financial year was set out in Supplementary Estimates 2016-17.
