Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what information his Department holds on the cost to the public purse of each Department's workstreams on the UK leaving the EU.

The Treasury has committed over £250 million of additional spending in 2017-18 to prepare for EU Exit 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.
