Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 21 January 2019 to Question 207553 on Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Brexit, how much of the £720 million allocated to his Department for Brexit preparations in 2018-19 and 2019-20 has been allocated to preparing for the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

In addition to the information provided in response to Question 207553, I can confirm that Defra plans to apply in full its additional funding in 2018-19 and 2019-20 to prepare for and deliver its wide ranging programme of EU exit activities in readiness for all exit scenarios.

Defra does not allocate funding separately for preparations for the UK leaving the EU with or without a withdrawal agreement.
