Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much funding from the public purse his Department has allocated as a contingency for itself in the event that no deal is reached in negotiations on 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.
