Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what estimate he has made amount of money the UK will pay to the EU during the transition period between the UK leaving the EU at the agreement of a trading relationship between the UK and EU.

We have agreed a fair financial settlement with the EU as part of the draft Withdrawal Agreement. It reflects the UK paying its share of the outstanding EU commitments made during the period of our membership. Our estimate, based on reasonable assumptions and publicly available data, is that it will fall within the range of £35-39bn and the National Audit Office confirmed in April 2018 that these assumptions were reasonable.
