Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much her Department plans to spend on projects relating to the UK leaving the EU in the next five years; and if she will list the projects to which that funding has been assigned.

The UK’s withdrawal from the EU will impact on a number of the Departments’ business areas and the development of plans is linked to the outcome of the ongoing negotiations with the EU. At present, no specific funding requirements have been identified for DWP but we will continue to review this position.
