Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate he has made of the cost to his Department of leaving the EU in accordance with (a) the proposals set out in the Government’s White Paper and (b) a no-deal scenario.

At Autumn Budget 2017, my right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer set aside £1.5 billion of additional funding for EU exit preparations in 2019/20. Departments will be invited to bid for 2019/20 EU exit preparation funding later in the year. Details of timings and process will be announced in due course.
