Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for each (a) government department and (b) non-departmental public body how much additional funding to support EU-exit related activity in (i) 2018-19 and (ii) 2019-20 has been (A) bid for and (B) allocated; and whether his Department plans to invite further such bids for such funding in 2018-19.

At the Autumn Budget 2017, the Government committed an additional £3 billion over 2018/19 and 2019/20 to help departments and non-departmental public bodies prepare for the UK’s exit from the EU. As part of the bidding process, non-departmental bodies bid through central departments.

The final allocations for 2018/19 were announced at Spring Statement 2018, with just over £1.5bn allocated to departments and non-departmental public bodies. A full breakdown of allocations can be found in the Chief Secretary’s Written Ministerial Statement, HCWS540, laid on the 13th March (https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-03-13/HCWS540/)

The Treasury is discussing EU Exit preparations for 2019/20 with departments and allocations will be announced in due course.
