Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the 2018-19 Main Estimates, how much funding his Department has allocated to prepare for the UK to leave the EU.

HM Treasury has already allocated over £2 billion of additional funding to departments and the devolved administrations for EU exit preparations so far. A full breakdown of how this was allocated to departments can be found in my rt. hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to the Treasury’s Written Ministerial Statement, HCWS540, made on the 13 March 2018: https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-03-13/HCWS540/.
