All departments are planning for a number of EU Exit scenarios to make sure we are ready on Day 1. £412m of additional funding was allocated to DIT, FCO and DExEU over the parliament as was set out at Autumn Statement 2016. 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 for 2017/18 will be set out at Supplementary Estimates in the usual way. Departments are also reprioritising resources to focus on this government priority.
