Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Autumn Budget 2017, if he will publish the assessment on which his plan to set aside a further £3 billion to prepare for the UK's exit from the EU is based.
The Treasury and DExEU have been engaged with departments on their critical paths and the additional funding from the Reserve in 18/19 and 19/20 is being set aside to ensure funding is available as required for day 1 readiness.
