BEIS leads on dozens of EU exit issues covering areas such as energy; climate change; nuclear; markets and economy; goods, services and regulation, science and innovation. The allocated funding will allow the Department to negotiate and deliver against each of these issues in 2018/19, including staffing and systems costs and will enable BEIS to be EU exit ready.

The exact allocations across projects will vary depending on the progress of negotiations with the EU. BEIS will not publish a list as this would prejudice those negotiations.
