Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the costs incurred by his Department in the current financial year in preparation for the UK leaving the EU.

Like all departments, HMT is planning for a number of EU Exit scenarios to make sure we are ready on Day 1. Over £250m of additional funding has been approved across a number of departments in 2017/18 to prepare for Brexit. Additional funding received from the reserve will be set out at Supplementary Estimates.
