Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Written Statement of 13 March 2018, Spring Statement, HCWS 540, if he will publish a list of where the £260 million allocated to HMRC to realise the opportunities from EU exit will be spent.

HMRC has been allocated £260m for essential EU exit preparations in 2018-19. This funding will support the department in preparing for departure from the EU, including for new customs arrangements. HMRC will continue to work with HMT as progress is made and keep the department’s requirements under review accordingly. As with all Reserve funding, finalised allocations will be confirmed at Supplementary Estimates 2018-19 in early 2019.
